It was downright sultry when I stepped out this morning at 6:15am with a warm 76 degrees (F) 24 (C) The sunrise looked hot,hot,hot!!!

I dedicate this watch report to all those who lost their lives on 9/11/01

I’m averaging about a half hour before I find a PEFA lately and today was no exception as I found Dot.Ca (DC) at the north corner top ibeam of OCSR at 6:47am.

I checked around the east side and the Frontier Communications Tower (FCT) for Beauty but she has changed her morning routine on me so I couldn’t find her. I then stopped on the Broad St. bridge to check out the river wildlife. I caught a Great Blue Heron catching a small fish and swallowing it down,the usual gulls and ducks and a Cormorant taking flight.

I drove to Hawkeye and searched with no luck finding a juvie there and as I went thru downtown on my way to Brighton I could see that DC was no longer on OCSR. Pigott wasn’t home either. Hmm, what’s a girl to do? Return to the steamy city and look around that’s what! In doing so I found Beauty on the FCT lower red section perched on a north side beam looking Beautyful.

Beauty was obsessed with cleaning her left talon picking at it off and on during the time I shared space with her. I just love to see those Big Yellow Feet (BYF)!!

I spent only 20 minutes or so with Beauty but I thoroughly enjoyed all her poses as I always do. I could snap off shots of Peregrines all day long and have on occasion!

Beauty slipped off the back of the tower, then came back thru flying above my head as I was parked on Church St. in front of the Hochstein School of Music then she flew out of view to the southwest.

I left to check Hawkeye again before ending my watch downtown at 9:30am having found no more falcons at either place. So I saw Beauty and DC which is always good for making a smile appear on my face! 🙂
