Observation details
When I arrived, the Female was perched on a branch on the near side of the bay. I took photos for a couple minutes, and then the Male started calling as he flew in, and the Female flew up to meet him. They cruised around the bay briefly, and then both landed in a tree right above my head and copulated. The Male then flew off again, and the Female stayed in that tree for another 10 minutes.
