During my late afternoon watch, it was 23 degrees.

Sunrise:  7:11 am – Sunset:  5:36 pm

When I got out of work today, I immediately checked out the stacks at Kodak Park.  I could see no falcons on the east side of the stack, but finally found one on the west side of the west stack, lower catwalk.

I left the KP Falcon and went next to the BS location where I found Pigott on the northwest corner of the northwest extension.  I knew when Dot.ca flew in by her reaction.  She looked like a cat ready to pounce, following his flight to the corner of the north west corner of the west extension.

Dot.ca was messing around with something on the roof.  At first I couldn’t see what it was.  Finally he pulled out a pigeon wing.  He didn’t eat any of if, finally pushing it back onto the roof out of sight.  I’m sure it was a cached meal.

He kept looking down where there was a bunch of Canada Geese close to the building eating the snow covered grass.  He was probably thinking “Wow! Beauty and Pigott would be very impressed if I could get one of them!”  lol

I left them on their corners and headed downtown to look for Beauty.  Traffic was stopped on the Ford St Bridge, so I took a picture of the city from there.

From the Court St Bridge, I spotted Beauty up on the northwest corner of the Bausch and Lomb Building (B&L).  She was looking over the river towards the Times Square building, watching the swirling flock of Pigeons that seemingly tirelessly flew back and forth below her.

After watching Beauty and the almost full moon that rose behind the B&L building, I headed down to the lake to look for Billy.  Sorry to say, I did not see her or any other falcons at Charlotte or Russell Station.  While I was checking out that area, Kathy O reported from the BS location that one falcon had flown from the west end to the nighttime roosting area on the north side of the east end of the building.  She was pretty sure it was Dot.ca.

Goodnight everyone and keep safe wherever you are.
