Thursday Falcon Watch – 12/12/13 – All 3 Rochester Falcons Seen in the Cold and Snow!
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
I was able to find all three Rochester Falcons before the sun set. Rochester (NY) is cold and snowy right now. Brrrrr!
Beauty was downtown on Mercury’s money bag hand.

After looking for Dot.ca and not finding him downtown, I headed over to the BS location. Both Dot.ca and Pigott were on the east end of the building. Dot.ca was up on the tree ledge finishing a meal and Pigott was on a south facing window on the east extension.

Dot.ca finished his meal. Pigott took off and flew around to the north side of the building and Dot.ca followed. I found them both on the north side of the east extension. This is the spot we frequently find Pigott roosting at night. Dot.ca was two windows below her.

I left them to go back through downtown. Beauty was gone from the Mercury statue. I did look up into the OCSR elevator shaft, but it was too dark and snowing too hard to see if she was up there. The sun had set and it was time for me to end my watch at 4:45 pm.
I’ll leave you with a few pics I took after my watch tonight. Please remember to click on any pics you would like to see larger. Goodnight everyone! Keep warm and safe!

Carol,
Thank you for going out in the bad weather to bring us an afternoon report.
The pics are great and it is always so good to read our falcons are safe!

Thanks for the very nice comment Ginny! I do try to get out as much as possible after work. Can’t wait for the daylight time to get longer again. 🙂
