Pretty Girl With Little Red Courting Her - Strange Behaviors

When they are doing their courting, the males seem to forget I am there.

Pretty Girl is usually good with me getting close.

The males usually not so much.

But, when they get interested in courting they seem to forget everything else, including how close I am.

I got a series of Pretty Girl and Little Red going through their courtship antics.

Every so often, Little Red would back off about 20-30 feet and mark some bushes or a clump of grass.

Then he would rub his head and side down some brush and bite off some of the smaller branches.

It was really cool to be able to just sit there so close and take a series of shots of them and their mating behaviors.
