A long, deep, raspy call. I should add loud too.
The males have a spot in the rookery, at the very least they are there waiting. Now the calls to attract passing females start.
When they throw their head back like this you have to stop and listen.
Sound travels here and I can hear them calling before I even get to the swamp.
Interesting times in the swamp 😊. Very nice!
Yeah, the first few are showing up and planning construction 😃. Love the spring in the Lowcountry. Perfect chaos 😂
