Interesting incident. Apparent [[male symbol]] (large), with fish in bill, approaches apparent [[female symbol]] (small). [[female symbol]] reacts by F & Cht. - Agg. V. - F & Cht - Agg. V. [[male symbol]] just stands in posture varying from semi - H to complete F.  When in most extreme F, a trace of R.  Finally flies away a few feet.  [[female symbol]] then relaxes, doesn't follow him.  [[male symbol]] stands in F for a while, finally swallows fish. OCB OCB OCB Stands. Then involved in some attack with another bird; can't follow it.  Both fly off.  [[female symbol]] remains, relaxed & preening. 
This encounter [[underline]] looked [[/underline]] much like an amorous [[male symbol]] making advances to an already mated [[female symbol]]

[[female symbol]] walks away in Agg. V.  [[male symbol]] follows in Agg. V.  [[female symbol]] goes from potential nest-site to potential nest-site, i.e. crevices and hollows under rocks.  Each place, she looks down repeatedly, (like a series of gosts) [[male symbol]] joins her, does same thing.  Birds orientated comme ca [[cedille under c in ca]] [[image-two arrows pointing upward; left arrow pointing slightly to right; left arrow pointed slightly to left]].  Then [[female symbol]] scrapes briefly (without turning). Then [[female symbol]] walks to another site, in agg. V.,  [[male symbol]] follows in agg. V.  Then whole performance repeated.
