Yes, all of the female shots I posted today were of her. She is becoming much more assertive now that they are nearing their nesting season. Yesterday I saw the male fly up to a tree with a mealworm and feed it to her and today he stood guard while she entered the mealworm feed first. I haven't seen any other females around for a few days and today both the adults were busy chasing the remaining males from the yard. They move so fast and I was so close that it is impossible for the camera to stop the action. Here is one effort, just to illustrate what I mean. I love the expression on the bird's face. The blue blur is Papa in motion.
