Astrid and Ares were serious about incubation today. Following Astrid’s long overnight vigil, both falcons took turns incubating the three eggs. In fact, since the day was so chilly we hardly got any looks at the new egg. It was virtually always under one falcon or the other. Today there may have only been one food exchange that took place and no matings were reported for the first time in weeks. A fourth egg will likely be laid sometime Sunday morning. Tomorrow the Utica Peregrine Falcon Project people will be in Downtown Utica to give a tour of the falcons’ canyon and see Astrid and Ares. Anyone and everyone is invited to come and see these amazing raptors in person. We will be at the Adirondack Bank parking lot tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
