By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

I arrived on my Watch at a little before 4:00 pm.  Voyager was up on the Cross Rds Bldg and Baron and Rosetta were on the OCSR.  It was nice to see all three doing well.

Watchers present during my Watch, hope I get them all:  Joyce, Susan C, Kathy O, MAK, Donna, Dan S, Jeanne, Aaron, Shaky, Carrie, Dana, Lou, Joe (aka Viper) and his family and me Carol P.

The highlights of my Watch:

Beauty came in with food and both Rosetta & Baron gave chase.  Rosetta ended up with Beauty on the 2nd IBeam down on OCSR near the elevator shaft.  Rosetta grabbed the food and mantled it from Beauty.  Baron ended up on the Wilder Bldg where he sat next to the pipe he sat next to on the day of his first flight.  He likes it there.  lol  He didn’t stay long.  Baron joined Beauty and Rosetta and he and Rosetta shared the food that Beauty brought in.

In the meantime Voyager vocalized quite loudly that she was not pleased that she was not being fed.  She did a lot of flapping and running, but did not leave the Cross Rds Bldg. It wasn’t until close to 8:00 pm that she took off from the Cross Rds Bldg, first heading SW towards the Times Square Bldg (TSB).  She attempted to land below the SW wing, but came in a touch short.  She dropped and threw out her wings and flapped, heading back towards the Cross Rds Bldg.  We really thought that she would land there, but she was gaining altitude quite nicely.  She continued on towards the OCSR where Rosetta and Beauty were located.  Higher and higher until she made a very nice landing on the top disk section of OCSR.  This used to be a revolving restaurant a long time ago.  The gathered Watchers gave out a big cheer for Voyager’s awesome flight.  I have no fear that she will soon catch up with her siblings and that three young falcons will soon own the sky above Rochester.

Here are some pictures I took during my Watch (4 to 9 pm).  Remember to click on any pics you would like to see larger and hover your cursor over them for a description of what the picture is.  Enjoy!
