Friday Late Afternoon/Early Evening Watch – Billy, We Believe, at Russell Station – 10/25/13

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

While fellow Watchers Larry O, Lisa McK and Kathy O were at the BS location watching who they were pretty sure were Pigott and Dot.ca, Joyce and I were at Russell Station watching a juvie Peregrine with a black over green band. (4:50 pm)  We were pretty sure this was Billy.  Really angry looking clouds were over the lake and overhead and it was cold.  Billy was on the northeast end of the building.  At just before 4:00 pm, Shaky tweeted that there was a falcon on the Frontier Communication Tower, seen on the Rfalconcam cameras.

Just before 6:00 pm Billy took flight and flew around the stacks.  Landing and taking off again, over and over again.  To me it looked like she was playing.

Billy eventually headed over to the south side of the building, where Joyce spotted her on one of the lower buildings at the east end.  Just as it started to rain, she took off.  We could not find her after that.

I’ll leave you with a few pictures I took during my Watch.  Be sure to click on any you would like to see larger.  Enjoy and goodnight everyone!
