| Remarks : | I was blessed to enjoy the company of a pair on Saturday for almost an hour. The male would pick up a juicy caterpillar and call the mate with a sound “ chuck” “ chuck” in small notes. The female would get to the ground and the male would mount her after gifting the juicy bite. They did this about 3 times. - KP |
