Pepper First ♥

 What a fantastic night! Mark had the camera up at 8:27pm (thank you), and Salt is on the side branch. He sees/or hears something and takes off, but returns quickly. Pepper arrives at 8:54pm and Salt immediately mates with her. All night one or the other and sometimes both are on the branches. At 11:31pm hear a Great Horned Owl in the background (not unusual) but hope he moves on. 

Salt is on side branch and at 1:31am Pepper flies in and they mate. She then moves to the front branch close to the box entrance. For the first time that I have seen, Pepper goes into the box and commences to making the cutest come hither and begging sounds. (listen closely to them in the video). Salt moves to the front branch but keeps Pepper waiting until 3:25am when he joins her in the box. (Listen to the sounds Pep makes at 3:21 when Salt gets closer). They only stay in together for five minutes; but sure looks like we are very close to Pepper staying in the box. The rest of the night they were coming and going, with four mating sessions seen.  

Mark has set up the inside camera, you can find that view here:
