The Birds of Emeralda 4

From a marsh drive last month.

Beautiful footage of a variety of birds. 1:53 Is this some kind of ceremony? Very interesting behaviour!

Thank you! It's a display of competition between male grackles for mating rights and possibly territory as well. They're basically all trying to establish dominance by intimidation or looking pretty. Looks goofy to me but I'm sure it's serious business to them!

@@DragaFlammis Thank you very much for the explanation! It looked very interesting to me but I don`t know much about grackles. We don`t have them here.

@@corvusaeternus No problem!
