Thanks. I can usually tell by looking at them, a few subtle differences. He is a little bigger. Also, the male is more relaxed and at the same time is more ascertive. Their calls are different, their call is a Woohoo. The 2nd note is lower for the male while 2nd note is higher for the female.
Currently she is in the hollow incubating and only leaves for food, which he provides. So it's easy to follow who's who. As the weeks pass she will become dirty, no bathing and stained from the hollow. Her tail feathers also become ragged from living in the hollow so it becomes even easier. When they were mating, nightly for weeks, I had nightly confirmation that I was identifying correctly.
