16 May 0700-0730 Nesty watch. @ 0705 I saw a nice
copulation. After a typical mount, the 8 got his
tail well underneath the Female's raised tail. He then
slid down her back a bit until he made good cloacal
contact. They remained still in this position for 4 full
seconds. He then dismounted, sat nearby, r then Flew off.
She stayed.
