The Utica Peregrines were fairly active today. The sunny skies and mild winds allowed for great flying. Ares came back in the morning with a food tribute for Astrid. After a few tries he successfully handed it off to her on the nest box perch. The pair shared a ledge display at 12:15 PM and again at 3:00 PM. There were at least two matings during the morning. The pair’s afternoon activities were not as well monitored, but apparently Ares made multiple visits to the box. Astrid sailed around the canyon a few times in the early evening. Ares manned the box as the sun set.
