By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

(3:30 – 5:00 pm)

I was waiting at a red light about two blocks away from Kodak Office when I spotted a falcon flying above and around the top of the tower.   By the time I got there, Beauty had settled on the south east corner of the launchpad.

It wouldn’t remain light for very long, so I checked the rest of the downtown area and could not find Dot.ca.  My next stop was the BS location.  Beneath the very large moon that had risen in the sky, I could see that  both Dot.ca and Pigott were on the east side of the building.

Pigott was on the top east side window on the south east extension closest to the east extension corner.  Dot.ca was finishing eating up on the north east corner of the east extension.

Dot.ca finished his meal.  Both he and Pigott were quiet while I was there.  No vocalization.  The light was fading and it was time for me to move on .

Driving back through downtown, I found that Beauty had moved from the Kodak Tower and was now on the Times Square Bldg, on the ledge below the north east wing.  This is directly above the nest box.

I continued down Exchange, which turned into Lake heading north.  When I arrived at the Lake, the sun was almost set, but I could still see that the Coast Guard antenna on the Summerville side was empty.  The sunset was beautiful from the Charlotte parking lot.  Lots of pink!

Russell Station was my last check.  But, it was too dark to see if there was a falcon on the building.  At 5:00 pm, it was time for me to head home.  I was very happy to have seen all three resident Rochester falcons in the short time I had to search for them.

I’ll leave you with a picture of the sun setting on Buck Pond.  Goodnight everyone!
