Title - Shag colony

Macquarie Island shags

Date: September 15
The shag colony is a sea of bowing, bobbing heads. Their courtship dance somehow bonds the pair, but exactly what information the ritual conveys is too subtle for we humans to understand. Regardless, they will be a team. Together, the pair will build their nest, share incubating duty and raise the chicks.
