This is when she just started to call before dad suddenly appeared to bond. I am not sure if dad was on the nest or not as the cam was zoomed in on Lady D. I didn't get any snaps of the bonding.

DT stood up, pushing Dad's wing up off her head. They both moved up to the love branch where a mating did take place - images in a bit
