Pale Male goes into a dive, Monday. For those who haven't seen him in action, Pale Male is lightening fast and truly remarkable in flight.

The Zephyr Report
Ohio Hawk Expert, John Blakeman has spotted Zephyr, his former falconry hawk, twice in trees nearby his home recently.
Photo courtesy of palemale.comRemember the earlier food fight this week among Octavia, an "intruder", and Pale Male?
John Blakeman wrote, " I'd presume these to be a mated pair. If not, it's still a spring-time sexual behavior thing, where food is exchanged or shared, to determine social position and alignments. No physical harm ever occurs to the hawks."
My question, If Octavia is having a dalliance with the Downtown male as has been suspected and possibly proved, might "the intruder" have been Downtown Male trying for the sexual behavior concerning food that Mr. Blakeman is talking about but Pale Male was having none of it and reinforcing his position as Octavia's mate?
We're possibly in a whole new spectrum of behavior we've not knowingly seen before.
Stay tuned.
