Morning watch 5-25-11
By Rochester falcon watcher MAK
When I arrived downtown this morning I caught a glimpse of Beauty on the base of Mercury. She took off as I was turning down Aqueduct St. in the direction of FCT. I drove over that way and didn’t spot her until after I had checked around Kodak Office first. She was on the west side of the Frontier Communications Tower and this is where the Beautyful one and I hung out together for nearly 2 hours.
When she took off heading toward Times Square I took off right behind her. I arrived just in time to see her up on top of the main camera at the nestbox. I missed her leave and wondered if there had been a switch made when I spotted her on the west corner top ibeam of the OCSR building.
Beauty appeared to be nibbling on a tiny bit of cached food, with a full crop I might add. After 20 minutes there she flew over to the nestbox very briefly and then flew off to the FCT again.
As I ended this cat and mouse watch with Beauty she flew off her spot on that FCT and went straight toward Times Square again! I think she may be a little perplexed over the egg situation or not. In any case she is still the Beautyful one that graces our Rochester skies! Perhaps I’ll see Archer and/or Unity on my next watch. See ya! 🙂
