Nature has some wonderful ways to annouce " I am healthy and ready for breeding" Few have better costumes then these macaws. They are natives of central and south
America, can live up to 80 years, and endangered due to habitat loss and capture. This one was in the San Diego Zoo.
I hope your color screens are working well. Cheers.

For most shorebirds, San Francisco Bay is a major North American refuge during their migration and wintering periods. Avocets are often found on mudflats digging for aquatic invertebrates (bugs). The American avocet has a distinctive method of feeding by swinging its head and bill side to side as it captures insects in shallow water. It is one the the few bird species that has different shaped bills for males and females.

This is the same peacock as yesterday but without the closeup lens. I had to wait for some time untill at last he walked into the sunlight to put his full glory on display. Peacocks are large, colorful pheasants known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colorful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.
The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl.

Hiking along the beach in northern California near Drake's Bay a wave of sandpipers soar and hunt as a group. Looking like a bank of giant misquitos they hoover over the waves then flock back to the beach to hunt and peck for tiny crabs under the sand.
