Tuesday, April 26, 2022 – Cool & Rainy in Falcon-town and Not Much Drama

Astrid

The overnight was cool with some rain showers. Mostly light rain continued through the day and the temperature dropped into the 30’s by evening. Astrid spent the night on the eggs. At 4:54 AM Ares came to the box and the pair did their first switch of the day. At 6:45 we noticed that Astrid was on the State Building. She came back to take over on the eggs at 7:07 and Ares didn’t argue with her. At 10:21 Astrid was on the south side of the steeple and Ares was on the eggs which meant we missed a switch. However, we did manage to catch the one that took place at 11:46. That time Astrid reclaimed her position on the nest. Ares was on the State building after that. He came to the nest at 2:10 and they changed again – this time it was Ares getting onto the eggs. At 3:42 Astrid came to the crossperch and asked for a turn incubating. Ares didn’t budge and she consented to let him stay a while longer.  She went to the steeple and was there for at least 45 minutes. By 5:00 PM Astrid was back on the nest and Ares was out of view. We weren’t sure of the timing of the changeover. Despite how early it was Astrid seemed to be in place for the night. Goodnight all.
