Observation details
This is the male that I watch on its territory. With heavy cloud cover it came out earlier this evening, doing about 10-15 courtship swoops with its wings making the swooshing sound as it bottoms out at each downward arc. Then it would perch on its approx 15' high burned stump perch, before returning to peenting and swooping over its territory. The perch seems to be roughly in the center of its territory. This photo is of the male, which I saw land immediately after "peenting" and which I heard "peent" from its perch.
