Morning watch 11-8-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was 36 (F) 2 (C) when I walked out the door this morning with dark snow clouds moving in from the north,east and west. They eventually moved over the city dropping snow,ice pellets and rain on and off.
As I drove on to the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) after checking the east side for a falcon I watched one fly up to the deck and land next to the main camera. I drove down to the hole next to He’s Chinese to see that it was Beauty. I also noticed Dot.Ca (DC) up under the northeast wing of the Times Square Building (TSB).

10 minutes later the 2 of them flew out over the river and Beauty returned landing on the deck first then up to the main cam. I didn’t see where DC went off to.
5 minutes later Beauty went down to the nest box as DC flew in landing on the deck by the main cam. Next thing I knew I was hearing some faint chupping. I found out there was bowing involved also and then DC flew away followed by Beauty half a minute later.

I found them a minute later on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR a few feet away from each other. I drove over to Main St. by the Radisson Hotel to observe our 2 love birds. Beauty preened while DC looked around with his back to her.

I left them around 7:30am to check the Brighton Site (BS) as it started to snow. When I arrived there it was sunny with blue skies, one trip around the building and it was snow pelleting-the dark clouds had followed me. Oh and there was no Pigott. I returned to check downtown before heading out. Beauty and DC were in the same spots as I left them on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR. Every time I see Beauty and DC hanging out together it makes me smile! 🙂
