This is the spot he likes, now he starts on step two. Getting a mate can take time if you arrive early, now comes the advertising.
A Great Blue call is deep, long, and like a loud hoarse cough.

He starts to stand tall, throw his head back, a ‘let it out’. Over and over.

They will do a little bow, dance, and even snapping beak. But it’s mostly a deep call.

In a few weeks we will hear them calling out loud, at the same time, as soon as we get near the trails. This sound travels !!
So amazing! And I’ve remembered to hit the WP icon this time. Lol, I’m hopeless at getting this right!
Welcome to my world…except I’m older and have an excuse 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone giving him a second look yet ?😊
Hard to tell. He starts trouble and has lots of competition now.
