Hey, watcha doin'?" again and again.<br /><br />It would sort of kill the mating impulse, wouldn't it?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-22639066489793280522009-05-01T09:35:00.000-07:002009-05-01T09:35:00.000-07:00I spend a night on Alcatraz a few years ago record...I spend a night on Alcatraz a few years ago recording Brandt's Cormorant nesting sites. It's interesting to see because the sites are mostly equidistant from each other, just out of beak range of the one next to them. It looks like a bird suburb. (I was going to say "planned community" but...)<br /><br />Anyway the link below has some low, croaky Cormorant voices on it for those that are interested. There are also a mating pair of Canada Geese, Western Gulls, and a high pitched Pigeon Guillamot.<br /><br />http://gregweddig.net/?p=43greghttp://gregweddig.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-62161686049484442912009-05-01T09:16:00.000-07:002009-05-01T09:16:00.000-07:00So I was curious about the Brandt's cormorant mati...So I was curious about the Brandt's cormorant mating dance, and being the lazy person I am, instead of going out to actually find some birds to watch, just flipped on our youtube...but in looking for it, found this...LOVE the blue footed booby.<br />: ) <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYmzdvMoUUAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
