User's notes

When I spotted them there were 3 birds an adult pair and maybe a Juv Male it was sunset so hard to see all the tail detail.The adult couple chased the single male away then the adult male started spreading out its wings and tail in a display pose. It did this several times. The couple then preened each other for a short time and then the mail started the wing and tail pose again and then proceeded to mate with the female. After they had done the deed they flew off and I could hear the other male calling and following them towards the Co-op
