Morning watch 11-9-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
This morning the weather was cold, breezy and overcast with a temp of 34 (F) 1 (C) to start but before my watch was over it was snowing
Every morning I see the crows leaving their night time roost from the trees in Washington Square Park. I guess the city will have to pay for some more pyro-technics to shoo them away again as they have for the last 2 years. They just keep coming back!!

I discovered Beauty on the east side of HSBC around 6:45am-she had her back to me and 5 minutes later she turned,spread her wings and flew over to the northeast corner.
I went to my spot on Chestnut St. by the Hotel Cadillac to watch as she walked a few feet over grabbed cached food and flew off back to the northeast corner to eat it.
As the sun arose from its slumbers behind Beauty it lit her up. She finished up eating and flew west quite nonchalantly and I followed.
I found the Beautyful one 10 minutes later on the northeast side of OCSR top ibeam. I stayed a few minutes and left to sheck the Brighton Site.
I found Pigott just before the 8 o’clock hour on the west side roof eating. She finished up after half hour and flew around to the front of the building where I found her on the northwest corner of the middle section.
Tiny raindrops started falling from the sky as I set out to return downtown after spending an hour with Miss Pigott. As I entered downtown from Cornhill on Exchange Blvd. I spotted Dot.Ca (DC) followed by Beauty fly up to the nest box area. I pulled over in front of the Blue Cross Arena to observe. Less than a minute later DC shot out and flew up under the northeast wing of the Times Square building (TSB). Beauty came out from the nest box to perch on the front ledge of it.
I then drove to the hole where I could see DC better and at 8:45am he flew east in a big hurry. A few minutes later I found out why he was in such a hurry-he caught breakfast and had taken it to the north side of the lower roof on the back of TSB. Feathers were a flying!
I tweeted out my findings and to my surprise when I looked back up there DC had been replaced by Beauty. I think she was looking for DCs food as she flew to a spot further down looked around and then flew over to the east side railing of Widows Walk. She led me right to DC who was on the northeast corner below her at just about 9am.
They stayed like this for 10 minutes then Beauty flew north followed by DC-monkey see monkey do!
DC
I caught up to them on the Kodak Office tower-DC was on the northeast corner of the launchpad and Beauty was above him on the cupola. The very light rain was turning into small snow drops as I parked on Mill St.
I left these two together (which is the theme lately for them) ending my watch around 9:30am with a smile! 🙂
