Odd Ring-necked behavior
Can anyone tell me what the male is doing here? I watched him doing this several times. BTW, I deleted the food fight so I could post this. I have never seen this behavior before and I was hoping someone would know.

Yep, its courtship season and I've seen them do this before. Also saw 2 crows this morning flying up and down together and showing talons to each other and I'm sure that was courtship too.
