"Velocity" was mating with "Misty" like he's done for the past 14 years, earlier this year. "Misty" has been infertile since 2014, 2013 was her last year of fertility. Now "Vixen" has taken over the role since 2015, not even one year old she laid four eggs, hatched four, fledged two, two fell out of the nest, first time ever any fell out of the nest here, and we lost two in the same year. No tall grass around the nest, bad year for rain, dry. Following year, she laid four eggs, presumably, couldn't see them, was a hard nest site to find and see into, And fledged three. "Velocity" is mating with "Vixen" in the video linked recorded Sunday April 9 2017 :
