The strange shorebirds of the forest are starting to ramp up their breeding displays. I witnessed multiple males peenting and sky dancing yesterday evening in Great River and early this morning in Woodbury. Territorial disputes took place at both locations, featuring vocalizations I'd never heard as rivals strafed each other. At least one interested female was seen flying from the immediate vicinity of a singing male.
