Note: Observed female incubating for 10 min from Water Dept driveway. When I walked thru the gate towards the nest, she chirped and flew off nest into a nearby tree when she saw me. The male appeared out of nowhere and flew over me chirping and circling. Better to watch from the driveway so as not to disturb female.

I went back up to the OWD parking lot to observe and she was sitting high in the nest.
