By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

I have really been hoping to either prove or disprove that the falcon we’ve been seeing at Kodak Park was Dot.ca.  Today we finally have proof that it is not Dot.ca.

At 9:00 am I checked the east side of the smoke stacks and spotted a falcon on the little silver box (LSB) next to the red light.  This is a favorite spot for this falcon.

At 9:26 am, MAK reported from downtown that both Beauty and Dot.ca were on the OCSR.  This was my chance to check the stack again at KP.  Was the falcon still there?  Or was it Dot.ca and now he was downtown with Beauty.  I soon had my answer.

At 9:45 pm, the smoke from the stacks parted and there, on the little silver box next to the red light was a very white chested adult Peregrine Falcon.  I quickly tweeted out that there was still a falcon at KP and MAK answered that she still had Dot.ca up on the OCSR.  Watcher Teamwork!  🙂

The KP Falcon is a mystery falcon!  Let’s hope we are able to positively ID this falcon, or at least find out if it is banded or not.

When I left work, the falcon was still on the little silver box next to the red light above the lower catwalk on the east side of the east smoke stack.  But, it was facing north instead of south.  🙂

Goodnight everyone!
