If he sticks around you might see the hen. The Drake will have an impressive mating ritual that is a must see.

SO happy to have found this place (renting small house on my own little peninsula, brings me to NATURE in my retirement!!!)

They sometimes accompany rafters and kayakers, hoping the boats will scare up some fish.
