Observation details
My BOY! Oh, he was so much fun. He was booming away in the trail, then sprinted off to my left... where there was a female on a rock. She didn't approve of him at all, and took off running. He trotted in hot pursuit, displaying and dropping a wing and being as perfect as he could be, but she would have none of it. They raced past me again on the trail, then the female decided she'd had enough, and flew across the whole valley to the opposite side, far away. My boy un-fanned his tail, stood up by the trail once more, and proceeded to boom in her direction, perhaps hoping she would change her mind. Video of that last booming attempt here:
