petal passing love birds

I managed to get photos of an interesting courtship behavior between CEDAR WAXWINGS in a apple tree near the Brownsmead Dike Road bridge. These two went on passing petals back and forth for several minute. Another pair in a different part of the tree was doing the same thing.

And as long as I'm on curious behaviors, here's a picture of a PURPLE MARTIN in the wrong box at Svensen Island.
