Eyes to the Skies

Morning watch 5-1-14

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

My watch started with overcast dark skies and a temperature of 53 (F)  12 (C)

I started my watch at 7:40am-late for me, as I couldn’t locate my phone. When I reached downtown I found Beauty on the heel of Mercury. Remember to click on my pics to see larger versions of them

After 10 minutes of looking around, preening and foofing her feathers she flew over to cam 1

The Beautyful one stayed there for about 15 minutes and then flew down to the deck and waited for Dot.Ca (DC) to get off those eggs of theirs. He flew out and over to the Mercury money bag (MMB)

I was parked in the hole between Thomson Reuters and the Philipone building so my view window was limited and I couldn’t see the nest box area from there. DC flew off a few minutes later and then I got a tweet from Annette (thanks) that Beauty had left the nest box kakking and DC had gone to cover the eggs.

I went for a ride around the city looking for Beauty and as I was doing that Annette tweeted that Beauty was now on cam 1 and sure enough when I got back to the hole I saw her up there. Again I say thank you Annette for the assist.

At 8:47am Beauty flew down to the deck  and waited for DC to get off their eggs (pics in sequence)

DC came shooting out at 8:50am circled Mercury a few times then headed south quickly leaving my field of vision.

I went looking for him but was unsuccessful in finding him thus ending my watch around 9:15am. Keep smiling everyone! 🙂
