1:18 the stream went offline

[Urmas]

At night male stays in nest up to around 2 AM. Then female approached somewhere close by made voice and male flew to the left. Possible mating sound (I don't know well it). Before stream resumed after 5, there was female to heard nearby but moved further.
By some reason YT stream interrupted. It is really difficult to predict it.

[Liz01]

Urmas, thank you.
they mating sound is almost similar to great horned owl. I watch them since a few years

after 45 seconds they mate in front of camera ! she chirps really similar to our Eagle owls / Great horned Owl
