We got 4-5 inches of snow over nite but it was done snowing when I got up today for my watch. The temperature as I cleared the snow out of my driveway was 22 (F) -6 (C) and it was overcast

I found Beauty at 7:15am on the northeast corner of  Bausch & Lomb as I scanned the east side buildings with my binoculars from the Inn on Broadway parking lot. I first went to Broad St. next to Xerox to observe her as she ate breakfast.

I drove over to Euclid St. which takes you behind the Hotel Cadillac. Unfortunately, Picassa had a glitch and most of my pics were lost while I was downloading them so I have none from this location, but I did get a video that will be listed at the end of my report. After half hour the Beautyful one finished eating, did some feaking then flew off to the northwest toward OCSR and that’s exactly where I found her once I caught up with her. I thought she went up in the elevator shaft since that’s been her usual spot lately after eating, so I parked by the Radisson Hotel at Main. St. to have a look. She fooled me and was on the top ibeam of the northeast side with her back to me.

I stayed a short time as I figured she would be napping and digesting her meal so I could check the Brighton Site (BS). I arrived over there around 8:30am to find Pigott on the southeast extension on a top floor east facing window ledge.

A couple minutes later Dot.Ca (DC) flew in from the east and landed on the southeast corner of the east extension and Pigott flew off to join him flying to the northeast corner and coming to rest.

These 2 stayed this way with their backs to me for an hour as DC gave me a look over his shoulder a few times and Miss Pigott at least gave me some semi side profiles.

I left them at 9:35am to make googoo eyes at each other and returned to downtown. I found Beauty in the same spot as where I left her on the top ibeam northeast side of OCSR. She was facing in my direction and trying to get some shut eye.

I left our sleeping Beauty at 10am and ended my watch with a smile after seeing all 3 resident Rochester Peregrine Falcons doing just fine! 🙂
