Falcons weather the storm

Astrid and Ares were fairly quiet today. They usually keep a lower profile during storms. At one point Ares flew up near Astrid on the state office building with food in his talons. He chirped at her, dangled the prize in his beak and then flew over to the nest box.  

Since it was a fairly inactive day for videos, we thought you might enjoy some still shots from this month.
