Morning watch 12-19-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
We started the day at the freezing mark of 32 (F) 0 (C) with clouds to start, but the sun shone brightly for most of my watch
I had quite the time looking for falcons in downtown Rochester today so after almost an hour of unsuccessful hunting I left for the Brighton Site to try my luck there. I managed to find more decorations at Bausch & Lomb, on Andrews Terrace apartments balconies a couple shops on Mt. Hope Ave. and Mercury looking like he’s reaching for the moon.

As luck would have it Miss Pigott was home and perched on the southeast corner of the southeast extension under the tree top roof. She did some preening but mostly turned her head a lot as usual to watch her surroundings.
I got a sequence of the life of a poop. lol
I left Pigott around 8:30am and went back downtown to see if I could find Beauty and Dot.Ca (DC). 40 minutes later I spotted them on Midtown as I was coming around the back of HSBC on Broad St. The Beautyful one was on the northeast corner and DC on the southeast. Every once in while she would whine.

I moved to Atlas St. at Elm St. to be closer to them. DC flew off around 9:45am and returned 20 minutes later flying above Beauty-she flew off after him as they headed toward the river. I followed behind and found them on the Kodak Office tower. DC was on the southeast corner of the launchpad and Beauty was above him on the east side of the cupola.
They were just hanging out and blowing in the breeze as I ended my watch at 10:20am. Smiles take over my face whenever I see all 3 of Rochesters’ Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
