March 31 (Evening):
We were having dinner at about 7:00. It was almost dark, but our blinds were still open. We saw Roxie fly into the cypress tree with a meal. As she was eating, Rufous flew to a branch above her and waited. I predicted "We're going to get to see them mating!" When Roxie was finished with her meal, I coached R2D2... "Okay Buddy, now's your chance!" But R2D2 plucked a stick and flew up to his nest with it, then back near Roxie. "Now's the time, Buddy!" And sure enough, he moved closer and closer... then Wham! It didn't last long! He moved away and they sat perched only a couple of feet apart on the same limb.
