!!! Freddie and Voltaire very chummy
March 15, 2012 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge
Dennis Patrick Reports:
The nest box is home sweet home for Freddie and Voltaire. You can tell that it’s their home and don’t even think about touching it. We got there around 6 last evening, Freddie was on the east side of the abudment eating his dinner, Voltaire was sitting on the cross beam, preening herself, why not she has a male in her life that she wants to keep. She then flew on to the lower beam and ate her dinner. While she was eating Freddie flew on to the nest box and waited until she was done then he flew down and we saw them copulate again. This time it took a little longer than the last time we saw it happen. It’s one thing to hear about that but it’s another thing to see it in person. It’s amazing how they go on with life even though it’s so noisy there with the traffic going across on the Bridge.
Please stay tuned for more updates as the season continues.
