A Southern Lapwing (I think that’s what this is) strutting around the beach in Marino Ballena Park. He told me he is strutting to get ready for his school dance so he can impress his classmates.

En Garde!

This male Queltehue #SouthernLapwing is showing me his “guns” to protect two chicks in the background. They are fiercely territorial ground-nesters & will dive-bomb you if you get too close.

These beautiful birds, known as Southern Lapwings, are highly territorial. A male & two females have lived in my backyard for many years.

I have been enjoying the antics of these guys, but good to have the real thing back again. #Tero #SouthernLapwing

Day 25 Southern Lapwing

The red horns sticking out of its mid-wing are meant to intimidate foes and birds of prey. Red is frequently a symbol of badassery in nature.
