Morning watch 12-16-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was overcast and cold with a little light snow at times this morning with a temperature of 16 (F) -9 (C)
I was on the east side taking a couple pics when I got a tweet from Donna that a falcon whom she thought was Beauty was on the Mercury Money Bag (MMB). Thanks for the assist D!

I went to the Broad St. bridge and saw the back of Beauty on Mercury. I continued down to the hole to see the front of her. She flew off less than 10 minutes later heading north.
I headed over to Kodak Office and found her there on the south side arch where she’s been going for the past few days. She was there less than a minute then took off to the south.
I went to Brighton after not finding the Beautyful one and came upon both Pigott and Dot.Ca (DC). He was on the northeast corner of the east extension eating and she was watching him from the southeast corner. Same as yesterday-no sharing !
About 10 minutes later Pigott walked across to where DC was and he flew off with his food to where she just came from. A minute later he flew over and kicked Pigott off his original corner and she went back to her corner.
Pigott said the heck with you and flew off to the east to find her own breakfast. DC then finished his meal and flew to the southeast corner of the southeast extension briefly then back to the southeast corner of the east extension before flying north..
I returned to downtown to find Beauty on the southeast cube of the Frontier Communications Tower for a minute before she flew north.
Beauty had ended up on the south side arch of Kodak Office.
I ended my watch at 9:15am- anytime I see all 3 Rochester Peregrine Falcons is reason to smile! 🙂
