Yesterday afternoon at Bear River was frustrating at the beginning. I spent almost two hours driving around and didn't see much. On my way home I decided to stay for a while with Black-necked Stilts and was lucky to see their courtship and mating.
The courtship started. The female keeps her body parallel to the water showing her willingness to mate.
The male mounted the female.
And copulation began. In a minute it will be over and the post-mating dance would begin.
The pair is going to cross beaks in their post-mating dance.
Then they separated the beaks and walked together side by side. They became a couple!
