After Ravenswood, I decided to find out if Athena at Astoria Park had laid her eggs and was sitting on the nest. I managed to find her mate Atlas rather quickly as he was perched in a tree directly beneath the nest. I didn't see any head sticking up from the nest, so I searched around the bridge area to see if I could find Athena. I searched for about 15 minutes before returning to the nest area where I spotted Athena perched no more than two feet away from Atlas.The two stayed perched together for at least 20 minutes before Atlas descended to a lower branch to finish off some leftover from earlier in the day. No eggs yet,
but i suspect she will lay them any day now.
