Astrid and Ares have been visiting the nest box only infrequently for the past several weeks. Ledge displays (or dances) at the box have been rare. However, today, just before noon, the pair did rendezvous at the box and proceeded to perform a short display.

In this clip from yesterday, Astrid is having lunch on the ledge of the hotel. Ares is eager to get some. He tries a few times and ultimately gets a small piece

This is the first ledge display (dance) that Astrid and Ares have performed in 6 days. Before this they were both busy stirring up pigeons in the canyon today

Ares and Astrid perform a ledge display. In this edited version, Ares calls Astrid up to the box.

Ares brings a tiny food tribute to Astrid. She takes a portion of it and then drops it. He drops his share too
