Description
Black-necked Stilts (Himantopus mexicanus) in pre-copulatory courtship display. The mating ritual starts with the female leaning forward and stretching her neck out which lets the male know that she is ready to mate. The male will circle around her making pecking motions on the surface of the water. Members of a pair do not remain together after the breeding season.
