Saturday Photo Hunt: Support

If you are a masked booby, you have to support your mate in many ways.

This picture brings back wonderful memories of watching the entire courtship, which lasted about 10 minutes -- longer than some celebrity courtships. When the male jumped off, he threw back his head and whistled something that sounded like "Woo-hoooo!" If he had had a fist, he would have been pumping it. Then she got very busy gathering sticks and stones and arranging them into a nest and he --- well, he went to sleep. Personally, I did not support his behavior.

Of all our babies the only one we have "rescued" from a shelter has been Syrus. The rest of them have found their way to us in one manner or another. Especially our kitties, although my darling hubby is NOT a cat person he always seems to be bringing them home!
