Blue-footed Boobys Mating 2

Blue-footed Boobys have mated and the female is preparing to settle into the nest and the male strutting with his head and tail in the air seemingly all proud of himself. Might add that the actual act of mating takes seconds and is somewhat anti-climatic after the very long mating process.
