Observation details
A pair of birds were circling overhead in an area that included the sycamore tree and nest in the photos. At one point, one bird dived silently then started to call after leveling off a little above the tree line, which is possible courtship behavior. That led me to hypothesize that these were a mating pair. I'll continue to monitor to see if my hypothesis can be verified. A third bird is heard in the recordings.
