The Canyon Hosts Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
Update for Saturday, March 16, 2024
In a departure from recent days, the falcons did not guard the nestbox all night but instead didn’t start their routine until dawn. At that point, both Astrid and Ares piled into the box for an impromptu dance. This morning the Saint Patrick’s Day parade took place in the Canyon. Ares watched a bit of it from the crossperch at the box – however, Astrid mostly hid out on the ledge on The North Face of the State Building. At one point she did fly out over Genesee Street but then went back into seclusion. In other news, the Falcons held 3 ledge displays at the box although two were rather short. They also mated several times and Ares brought Astrid food at least once.
