Update for Monday, April 15, 2024
Lately, Ares has been increasingly eager to take his first turn on the nest. His anticipation drives him to arrive exceptionally early in the morning, though he doesn’t head directly to the nest. Instead, he pauses nearby – on a window ledge or atop a pillar. Ares is keenly aware that Astrid isn’t usually inclined to an early changeover. Upon his arrival, he emits a call that differs from his usual screech – it’s more intricate, drawn-out, and carries a sense of impatience and desperation. This morning, Astrid displayed greater flexibility, allowing Ares to assume his duties at the nest at 4:25.
