p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Pair of affectionate GBH building nest - behavioral shots II


Returned to the colony after the Southern California storms. None of the nests fell. I was able to photograph the same pair from my last post in better light. When I got to the site the male was sitting on the nest. It took about 60 minutes for the female to relieve him. The pictures shows what happened during the next 45 min after she arrived. Some mutual preening and playing was followed by the male doing short trips for branches. According to me, when the female points its head up it means "go get a branch" or "return to nest".

Thanks all for the comments!

I will keep returning to the nest to report on the progress. Two to three chicks are expected. Stay tuned.
