Like with most birds, raptors or not, Osprey matings are quick affairs, lasting less than
a minute...The building-up ritual to the actual event may take hours though. The male might fly about some, draw a few daring circles and/or bring food. While the female does a lot of
clamoring, which could be described as noisy but low pitched bitching. His vocal expressions
are higher and sound more melodious, almost like Bald Eagle song. Mating frequency varies
from a few to as many as a dozen times a day. Whether each round results in mission
accomplished is another story. Sometimes it just seems more like rehearsal.
As to the below sequence, nature was probably served by image 4...
