Drying their armpi...er wingpits! LOL.

I wonder what that signifies? Is it a warning to others or some sort of mating dance?

Nice shot!

I read that they do this to warm up. I thought it was maybe some kind of mating ritual or a warning before a fight, but it's just because they want to be warm in the sunlight.

It also adds context to this pic I took last year:
