Tuesday Late Afternoon/Evening Watch – An All Beauty Watch – 10/29/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
A very short and sweet falcon watch report tonight.
I first checked downtown – Nothing.
Then I checked the BS location – Nothing.
Back downtown. Finally a falcon! Woohoo! 🙂
Beauty was on the outstretched hand of Mercury. Here are a few pics.

While I was downtown, Dana reported seeing an adult Peregrine Falcon eating on the glass pyramid on the roof of the old Medley Center in Irondequoit. Both Lisa McK and Kathy O were at the BS location and neither had seen Pigott there.
I searched all over downtown for a 2nd time and could not find Dot.ca. At 5:00 pm, it was time to move on. My next stop was the Charlotte/Summerville area. Again, no falcons found. Russell Station was my last stop. By 6:00 pm, clouds were moving in and I was quickly losing light. No sightings of any falcons there either. The only raptor I found was an adult Red-tailed Hawk hunting on the south side. It was time for me to call it a watch.
This weekend we start Daylight Savings Time. So next week, it will get darker even faster. Darn. 🙁
On my way home, I passed Buck Pond in Greece, NY. The sun was setting, making for a beautiful view. Goodnight everyone!
