A Nagging Wife?

The title only represents what could be going on between the two Royal Terns. I am, however, nearly certain that this is mating ritual performed by the male while the female remains decidedly unimpressed. The male ruffles his feathers and slightly spreads his wings (the equivalent of showing off his broad shoulders and flexing his biceps). He walks in circles around the female while squawking constantly.
Has anybody else witnessed this behavior?

I think you have the bird's gender switched. I think the male is making all the noise. Watch this video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC0OonIq8SA
She seems to be oblivious to the commotion. Ha! She's like, "Get out of my face."
Nice shot!
