Friday in the very wee hours of the morning Ares brought Astrid a food tribute.
Ares has become very focused on bringing Astrid food tributes as this is his way of showing her that he is a good provider for their offspring.
Every year Ares catches several woodcocks. You would think Astrid would like such a large meal but she never seems too impressed. Pigeons are definitely her favorite meal.
Astrid and Ares mate at the box
What better way to start a Saturday than with a quick mating!
And another dance…
Dancing often leads to mating…
and more mating
Time change doesn’t matter to the falcons. They can mate anytime!
Who doesn’t like a nice afternoon dance?
No Monday morning blues with these two – they start their day with mating and a food gift. Well maybe Astrid does have the blues – she doesn’t accept poor Ares food gift – even after he plucked it!!
Maybe Astrid prefers a nice dance instead of food gifts.
Tuesday’s rain doesn’t dampen the falcons spirits. They were busy with matings, food gifts and making scrapes.
