Metaphor: Similar to the orange-haired candidate’s high publicity moves & mouthings,
a Woodcock’s mesmerizing sky dance attracts females
but does zilch for the resulting family.
His multiple mates are on their own.
The display: Buzzy PEENT call, wide spiral upward flight w/ wing twitter;
@ 350′ zigzags a chirping descent.
Females pour in from all around & mate.
Seems to work for the Woodcock.
Like I said, metaphor.

PS The Woodcock is also called a Labrador Twister, Night Partridge,Timberdoodle Bogsucker, and Becasee. I don’t know what to call The Donald. Keep in mind the dance of the bird reminds me of the campaign & non-substantative promises of the candidate. It doesn’t imply anything about his personal habits. (I probably don’t need to say this?)
Love the ground based strut! Very cool. Ronnie

I loved all the parts about the Woodcock! Too bad this poor innocent bird reminds you of the Donald. 🙂

This bird is remarkable because of its total lack of support once the flashy deed is done. A bit like the Hummingbird in this respect. I guess I could have ruined that bird’s image too. Once my juxtaposition button gets pushed there’s no accounting for what gets paired with what, meaning frequently it’s a surprise to me also. That said, I am going to try to avoid Donald 420’s for a while. It’s too disturbing.

Well, I am guessing this is one of the most unusual things that has ever been compared to Donald Trump. It is always interesting to see what you juxtapose! 🙂
