Media notes
Here the male has entered the cavity, with the female inside, presumably bringing her food and copulating.
Observation details
Female appeared at 1842 hrs, still good light. Started begging call (audio attached shortly) for several minutes, eventually flying out of hole to nearby oak. But male was just also flying in to another nearby oak at last light, so female immediately returned to cavity to resume begging. Male was visible perched for several minutes, then flew to another adjacent oak, then to cavity (presumably to feed female) begging and noise intensified (audio attached)(presumably copulation), and within seconds male flew off, and female flew off.
