6:30 – 7:40 pm

Yet another lovely fall evening in Rochester (NY).  Temps again in the 70’s (F).  I am really enjoying the continuing mild temperatures.  The weather people have them continuing through the weekend with a chance of rain.

At 6:30 pm, I started my Watch, by first checking out ST and Hawkeye.  I saw no falcons at either location.  I pulled into the YMCA to check the west side of the Hawkeye plant and spotted a Red-tail Hawk sitting on the YMCA bldg near a security camera.

I headed downtown and could not find Beauty or Dot.ca on the Kodak Tower or the Frontier Communication Tower.  From the Andrew St Bridge, I could see that the OCSR elevator was down, so drove over to Main St and checked up inside the elevator shaft.  Although it was getting dark, Dot.ca was very visible on the north side ledge because he was facing out.  Beauty was up there too, on the south side ledge with her back to me.  Her tail was hanging over the ledge, otherwise it was really hard to see her.

While I was watching Beauty and Dot.ca, Kathy O was over at the BS location with Pigott. Joyce had seen her earlier, so I decided to stay downtown for what little time I had before it would be too dark to see anything.

Kathy joined me on the Broad St Bridge until 7:40 pm, when it was time to end our evening Falcon Watch.

I’ll leave you with a few pictures of Rochester at night.  It was especially lovely this evening.  Goodnight everyone!
