Morning watch 11-7-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It rained overnite but I had only overcast skies and a temp of 46 (F) 8 (C) on my watch
After a trip around the city I came up on the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) from the east and spotted the Beautyful one on the Mercury money bag (MMB). I drove down to the hole parking on Bank Place, next to the Philipone building as she kept looking below her, I assume for a cache-10 minutes later Beauty flew out and back to Mercury coming to rest on the base this time and started eating a small piece of cached food which she finished off quickly.
Another 10 minutes passed when she flew east, back to the base briefly then off again heading northwest. I went looking and when I came back to the BSB I saw that both Beauty and Dot.Ca (DC) were on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR. I was surprised to see them so close to the OCSR window washers who were around the corner on the southwest side. I first observed from the hole and then went up to Main St. at the Radisson Hotel.
The 2 love birds perched up there just looking toward each other with their backs to the world. Togetherness is a beautyful thing!
<Beauty>
<DC>
I left them to it and went to the Brighton site for a check. No Pigott and I thought maybe it was because of the high-pitched alarm of some sort that was going off on the front of the building on the east side complete with 2 flashing strobe lights. Off I went, back to check downtown where I wasn’t able to locate any PEFAs. I ended my watch at 8:45am -as I made my way down Exchange Blvd. to leave I saw a falcon on the MMB and just as I thought about going back it flew off headed north toward OCSR. One last glimpse of one of our Perergrine Falcons to send me off smiling! 🙂
