Christmas Day Falcon Watch – 12/25/13 – All Peaceful & Quiet
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
(8:30 am – Noon)
I decided to head out early this morning (8:30 am) for a Christmas Day Falcon Watch. It was 15 degrees and the sun was out for a short while. Been a long time since I’ve seen that bright orb in the sky. Loved it! It clouded up pretty quickly though.
I was back and forth between the BS location and downtown. Not many others were out and about at that time. At times, I was the only one on the road. I could get used to that! lol
During my watch, I did find all three Rochester Falcons. Pigott was at BS and Beauty & Dot.ca were on the Kodak Office Tower downtown. Pigott had a nice full crop. Beauty was prepping food on the southeast corner of the launch pad and Dot.ca was keeping guard on the antenna that juts out from the south side of the playpen.

I looked for Billy down at the lake (Ontario), but could not find her.
I’ll leave you with a few pics I took during my watch. Merry Christmas! Goodnight everyone!
