Birds of a Feather

These are Western Grebes, ducks in Oregon that pick up their wings and dance on top of the water to show others that they're in love...(or at least going to mate). Their symmetry is astounding, and I love the symbolism of it.

My favorite bird is, as always, the Bird of Paradise...outrageous males who transform into hopping clicking wondrously deliriously funny birds trying to woo the female.
