Vocalizations can be heard upon approach and for the duration of the observation. Primarily two individuals can be seen perched facing the bay. It is unclear if either of these individuals are juveniles. Secondary observation leads to the same conclusions.
Both male and female present. Female appears to be brooding, while male sits on the "V" poles on the nesting platform. Male calls periodically, appearing to be responding to soaring individuals in the vicinity. Eventually the male flies off and out of sight. Upon secondary observation, only the female is present, brooding in the nest.
