The female Great Egret that I featured yesterday performing the mating dance finally had a prospective mate drop by.
They each gave the other the once over.
They displayed some affection.
Somehow the male just didn’t measure up and was gold to GO.
Undaunted, the female shook herself off and started over.
What a wonderful sight to see.
It is a very interesting ritual they go through. Sort of amazing that they manage to reproduce at all.
Quite the display. Very nice!
They really know how to turn it up! Thanks, Belinda.
