The Southern Screamer is found in the South American countries. What you see above is a mating ceremony. The female lying on the ground ignores the male but the crazy guy goes around her in circles with his beak open and emitting some horrible sounds.

I have posted a similar image about 3 years ago but I thought this would be interesting for those who have not seen it.

Nature is weird but this is a great shot.

I'm in a story both funny and cruel. But am I the hero or am I the fool?

You captured great detail and movement in this Raj.
What some males will do to be noticed :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

He's " a man with a plan" and as we say here, "more power to his elbow!" Really interesting shot Raj.

This sounds very similar to my second girlfriend in college. I went nuts to get her attention, and she ignored me. After my natural allure and charm captured her heart, she became the screamer. Enough said.

Cross one of these with a Road Runner and you would really have something, Raj. A streaker for sure.
Well shot and presented.

With all that screaming she may be deaf instead of ignoring him. What guys will do for courtship. Very well focused and a nice capture Raj.
