Captured this Greater Yellowlegs exhibiting its fluttering behavior. This is my favorite pose of a sequence which I posted in the Story Sequences Forum if you care to take a gander. There are some super images in that forum. The show these birds put on (and the vocalization) during mating season is so much fun to watch, but not easy to capture b/c they move around so much and so quickly. At times it seems as though they exhibit this behavior during territorial disputes, but I feel it's more likely to "show off." Hope you like it.
