Fancy Bird (Nyctanassa violacea)

Same heron, same day, as this photo. I forgot to upload this one. https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/yellow-crowned-night-heron-display-plumage.660454
He was showing off to another heron, which I assume was a female. Now and then he would dip like this and make a "bwoo" noise. I'm not sure if she was impressed, as I haven't seen either of them since.

Another of your fine display images has been used today, 30 March 2021, as part of the illustration connected to the Yellow-crowned Night Heron article in Opus.

Your generous sharing of your work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
