Western Grebes Ratchet-Pointing
Southern California, USA
As courting progresses during the western grebe mating ritual, the grebes will ratchet-point, wherein the birds point their bills toward each other, lower themselves in the water, then give a grating, ratchet-like call with crest raised and throat distended.
