While observing these fledges, a male flew over to the largest female and their interaction was that we associate with adult birds before mating. I have dozens of shots of their "french kissing, necking session". Photos are attached.
I think that the young male (left) is looking to be fed by the young female (right). These birds are both just out of the nest. It wasn't that long ago that they were being fed in the nest by mom. At this stage in their development almost any kind of contact has to do with feeding. To quote Dr. Freud...."Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
