[SBB] Courtship or males fighting?

[Tom Merigan <[[email protected]]>]

This morning we were at the San Antonio end of Shoreline Park looking at 
the pond near the small set of bleachers. I took a series of 8 photos of  2 
usually shy Common Moorhens showing an interesting behavior which I have 
added to my website. What is shown is alternating cycles of displaying,with 
elevated tail feathers and upward wing posture,changing to 
fighting-chasing. Perhaps someone more experienced than I can tell if it is 
courtship or males defending 
territories?                                                     Tom

the Common Moorhen gallery
