The first bird seemed distracted as it kept looking down in the water and then behind it. Eventually, I could see what was drawing its attention, another darter. This second bird eventually climbed onto the wharf and then onto the viewing platform, with her approach being enough to drive the first darter into the water. The second darter gave herself a good wringing of the body to get the excess water off before adopting the classic drying wings posture.
