Dance-Off!

I am pleased to present a pair of my favorite little diving ducks doing their mating dance. Two male Hooded Mergansers here are competing for the favors of a single rather bored looking female. The dance consists of extending the neck to its maximum length and jerking the head back and forth in an attractive fashion.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Great little birds. Like to see them.
Video didn't work for me. Cute ducks though....'look at me! hey lady, look at me!'
Video didn't work in my Firefox browser. It couldn't even identify the type of plug-in required.
I've had success with uploading video to my Google+ account rather than YouTube and hosting from there. (Yes, Google does own both of them...)
Is this what you are doing? It could be that it's just the video format that's not working. Try mp4 format.
I just see a black empty space below the photo. Nice image.
Terrific shot!
I'll have a go at the video from Chrome. Can't get in from this browser...
Thanks to all who tried to see the video and couldn't, and were kind enough to let me know. I fiddled around with it but eventually replaced it with the usual YouTube version. I guess it's back to the drawing board for self-hosted video....
