Examples

“There was one instance of a male observed copulating with a decoy while a live female was on the singing ground 8 feet away . It could not be proved the other bird was a female but the observer was within a few feet and the size and actions of this bird were typical of other females seen on singing grounds.”

“Females can visit multiple singing grounds and males over the spring, decide who has the best display, and choose that male. Males can't choose; they can only be chosen.”
