the female of the resident pair. She has just called (kek kek) for the male who was in the nearby nest doing what looked like final preparations for occupancy by the female - adding more sticks and moving others around.
In this and the last photo in the series the distended belly of the female can be seen. These photos were taken about three days before she took to the nest to incubate (either April 6 or 7).

The second photo shows the male approaching within two minutes of the call from the female

The third and fourth photos are of the mating.

The last photo is after the mating, the male's lower body is visible at the lower right side of the photo

my first observation of this bird (I believe it to be the same one throughout) was on February 13 and it has been feeding here almost every day since then, mainly on pocket gophers in the orchard area and crawfish in the creek.
