smittyone@cox.net Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Am I allowed to ask behavioral questions here? If not, please direct me to the appropriate site. Can I assume the Avocet resting it's chin on the water is a female and is "presenting"? Or is this some kind of courtship posturing? What I expected to happen, didn't. So now I'm unsure. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melierax Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I searched up American Avocet courtship display, and yeah that appears to be what they're doing. Interesting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a photo similar to this on the LOL forum topic. Check it out on the link below. It's near the bottom of the page. I think my explanation is better!!! ? https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php?/topic/230-lol-forum-topic/page/3/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
