Yesterday, October 30th, Astrid and Ares worked together to convince an intruding female peregrine to leave the territory. Astrid did most of the work, chasing the unwelcome visitor and actually engaging her in light battle.
Today, October 31st it was Ares turn to chase out an unwelcome raptor. Based on his reaction and alarm calls we assume the intruder was merely a passing hawk and not another peregrine.
Astrid and Ares later took advantage of the mild weather and enjoyed a nice community bath on the hotel ledge.
Some still shots from the past couple of days…..
