[EBB Sightings] Follow-up on WTK courtship behavior

I just realized I could have provided more info.
Basically the behavior was observed on and off over
the course of 90 minutes in the southeast area of
Shadow Cliffs, near the GBH, great egret, and
cormorant rookery (which is still active, I witnessed
several GBH feedings).

Two of the three WTKs when observed would do the
behavior where one hovers with claws outstretched,
while the second would rise from below, flip over, and
briefly lock talons with the other.  They would do
several passes.  The third WTK would just flutter
around minding his own business.  After several
passes, they would usually break up and land on
neighboring trees before resuming again and drifting
off beyond viewing distance.

Again, I am curious about the relation of the third
WTK as well as the seasonal timing of this behavior.
