CommentOne of an isolated pair that has a roost on the banks of Sullivan's Creek. This appears to be a threat display to discourage the photographer from approaching any closer. Both birds used teh display but this individual did so more often. It was accompanied by raucous calling. Consistent with BLP ethics, the bird is roosting, not brooding.
