Very Cold and Windy Weather Today, But the Falcons are Still Thinking of Spring

Astrid and Ares had to put up with some nasty weather today. Low temperatures, high winds and dense snow squalls persisted throughout the day. Ares wasn’t seen giving his mate any food tributes today, nor were any matings observed, which represents a break in their recent pattern. However, the pair did share three long ledge displays at the nest box.
