Good morning everyone,
I’m writing from the bridge this morning. Got here about 30 minutes ago and Freddie was perched atop the Assumption Church steeple keeping an eye on the world and Voltaire was on the pipe under the bridge. No action from either one.After waiting about 30 minutes, Freddie took a leisurely flight under the bridge, circled around and flew in to Voltaire for copulation purposes. She seemed to be ready and waiting for him. Spring is in the air!
After the brief encounter, Freddie flew to the bridge and has been enjoying the sunshine perched just to the east side of the nest box but in the small area blocked from the nest by a steel beam and concrete. Seems to be enjoying the “afterglow” of his efforts.
The watch will begin soon!
Cheers,
Marilyn
