User's notes
Bronsewing mating under native cherry tree. Observed male calling for a few minutes prior to female arriving. Once she arrived, the male flared his tail feathers while bowing and swaying left to right. The two proceeded to bob heads, intertwine necks, and seemingly inspect each others' bills and heads. After mating, they returned to this close head inspection behaviour, followed by self preening.
