This dance was actually named in May 2023, shortly after we moved our bird feeder away from the house into the front yard. Not long after that we had a pair of mallard ducks visit regularly to feed on the sunflower seed that fell from the feeder, fascinating our cats. Note that the turns in the middle are all of differing length, which makes for an interesting timing challenge.
