Moonwalking Red-capped Manakins

Well, I have been stuck indoors for the last week or so, so I've not got much to post about.
What I have been able to do is spend some time doing research for a potential trip that we hope to take to Costa Rica in the spring. And in doing so, I have come across this video a few times, as this is one of the birds that I hope to see while we are there - and if we're lucky maybe even see this behavior!
It has made the rounds more than once on the birding blogs, but in case you've not seen it yet...




I'm a little put off by the addition of the music - it was cool enough without it.
