Ares Again Tries to Lure in Astrid
Ares tries to get Astrid to come to the box to get this lovely dinner!! If you look closely you can see Astrid on the State Bldg. Top left row of visible windows. Also you can catch glimpses of Ares flying around the canyon and getting close to Astrid before returning to the box. His tactics worked!!
Ares Tried to Lure in Astrid With Food
Early this morning a very anxious Ares tried his best to lure Astrid into the nestbox with food. He flew in and out again and again, calling and looking desperate. Finally near the end of this 6 minute clip, Astrid shows up and takes the meal. Success at last!
