Cold, Windy, Wintery Weather Puts Breeding Behavior on Hold, Much to Ares’ Displeasure

Update for Monday, March 11, 2024

After a day of little activity, A & A share a late afternoon dance

There is not all that much to report for Monday. It was cold and extremely windy, albeit sunny. Astrid spent much of the day on the north face of the State Building and Ares bounced back and forth between being near her and being at the nestbox. He definitely tried hard to get her to come over, but she resisted until late afternoon. Then they had two ledge displays within a ninety-minute period. During the second dance Ares was trying to bring up a pellet. For Astrid it was like dancing with someone with a bad case of hiccups.

For most of the day, A & A were two black dots on the State Building
