21 Apr 11 PPs mating Mlf Pt

Mating PPs at Mlf Pt, 21 Apr 11.
The second video shows the beginning of a courtship/mating cycle. Here the male performs a tilt display and symbolic nest scraping; the female goes to the nest scrape and stands under the males upraised and spread tail feathers. In the first video the male performs goosestepping as her pursues the female. He seems to acually kick her before mounting on top of her. All the time the wind is blowing quite hard.
