Morning watch 2-10-14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
About 4 inches of snow fell over nite at my house so after taking care of that I set out for downtown with a temperature of 14 degrees (F) -10 (C) cloudy conditions and light snow falling
After checking downtown, I spotted Beauty eating on the northeast corner of Bausch & Lomb (B&L) around 7:35am from the parking lot of the Inn on Broadway. I left to get a closer spot to view her but she left while in transit.

I searched downtown but never found Beauty again so I shot off to the Brighton Site (BS) where I arrived around 8:35am. I found Pigott on an east facing top floor window ledge on the southeast extension with her back to me. I parked so that I was on her left side for picture taking purposes.
Miss Pigott did some preening but mostly stayed tucked in on the ledge. I left her after half hour or so to return to downtown. The sun broke thru the clouds and shone bright as I arrived in our fair city. I took a couple trips around and then Beauty appeared on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR. I parked at the Radisson Hotel by Main St. to observe and happened to notice Dot.Ca (DC) up in the elevator shaft on the north ledge.

Beauty was looking around and DC started out with his back to me but ended up turning so I could see him better.

Beauty flew off as I was watching DC and while I was looking for her in the air DC flew over to the top ibeam where she had just vacated. Little did I know the Beautyful one had flown up into the elevator shaft and landed on the south ledge where I couldn’t see her from where I was parked. I found her after driving further north on the Radisson driveway. Sneaky little falcons! lol

CarolP tweeted that the KP falcon was on the east stack at the same time I had DC on OCSR so we can safely say that he is NOT the KP bird now. Hopefully we can get an ID on that falcon soon.
Satisfied to have seen all 3 Rochester Peregrine Falcons I ended my watch at 10am and yes, I was smiling as I pulled away! 🙂
