Title: Displaying Goldeneyes
Post by: Brian Bailey on February 07, 2011, 08:10:53 PM

Saturday at Humber Bay, the male Goldeneyes were trying hard to impress the females.  This group of 5 males courting a single female were close enough to get some okay shots:

She seemed totally unimpressed.

Thanks for pointing this out on Saturday Brian.  I don't know what was funnier though...  the physical action or the noises they made.  I never saw such things before.
