Least Tern mating behavior display on the walking path at Bolsa Chica, 7:30 a.m. on a saturday last month. The male had just given the fish to the banded female and then did this little dance.

EOS 10D, 400/5.6 @ 5.6, 1/250, ISO 200

This is a wonderful courtship ritual image. I particularly like the mate with the fish giving more to the story.
