Update for Monday, March 18, 2024
The falcons kept vigil at the nestbox overnight despite the snow, cold, and wind. Although their activities were hampered by the cold weather they did manage to get in some breeding behavior. A couple of intense ledge displays at the box; a few matings, and at least two food giftings were observed. Astrid was pretty inactive through most of the afternoon, opting to perch on the State Building. Ares repeatedly tried to get her to come over to the nest but she resisted until late afternoon/early evening.
