Foot-quivering while perched
Observation details
Observed a behavior I had not encountered before that is described in Birds of the World as ‘foot-quivering’. While the bird was standing on the ground it was moving its feet—alternating from one leg to the other. The first time I watched this the bird located a worm. Then when I was watching to see if it would do it again I observed it doing this activity while perched on a small bush.
