Frigid Friday Afternoon Falcon Watch – 2/28/14 – Last Day of February!
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Sorry I haven’t had much time to post. I had a very nice afternoon watch today and wanted to share some pictures of what I saw. It was a four falcon day.
Pigott and Dot.ca at the BS location.

Dot.ca joined Pigott after she finished eating and helped himself to some dinner.

Downtown I found Beauty on the northwest corner of the HSBC Building.

After leaving Beauty on HSBC, I headed down to the lake to see what I could see. I am happy to report that I found a juvenile Peregrine Falcon on an antenna at Russell Station. I cannot be sure that this was Billy. My camera just isn’t able to pick up detail at such far distances. But, it sure did look like her. 🙂

After the sunset, at about 6:15 pm, the juvie took off heading east, flying low over an area where ponds are located. To me it looked like she was on a hunt. I waited a little while do see if she would return, but she didn’t as far as I know.
Goodnight everyone. Very happy the weekend has arrived!

Nice report,Carol- on such a winter’s day!
BC sure does love spending time with MsP!
And Beauty remains queen of TSB nest. They keep to their territory don’t they! I wonder who will have young thus spring! Hopefully both P and B.
Has DC been seen with Billie at all? Could he spend time with all three?

Thank you Margaret! I have not seen DC with Billy. I think he has his talons full with P&B!
