Clark's Grebes Rushing
Southern California, USA
Druing the rushing stage of grebe courting, the birds rise up in the water onto their feet and scamper across the surface of the water together, running side by side. They stand straight up with their necks held high, their wings held back, and their feet churning the water like propellers. They rush for several seconds until the display concludes with a sudden dive. Rushing is not a race, but more like a synchronized dance.
