Bill Whan’s request for posts regarding behavior reminded me of being treated to a wonderful breeding display I observed at Sippo Lake Park (Stark Co.) last spring.  I am not certain if this was a male/female display or a territorial display between two male birds.  I would be interested to hear other’s views on that.  I am providing links to my Photobucket album of images (20 shots) of the display for your enjoyment.  I hope that one of them works, I have not done a link to an album yet.

Happy birding!
