Today was a carbon copy of yesterday 50 (F) 10 (C) and sunny

I spotted Beauty on cam 1 as I crossed the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) heading toward Times Square (TSB). When I turned down to the hole I heard the familiar sound of Dot.Ca (DC) chirping. I looked up and saw Beauty chasing DC and doing some squawking of her own. She was on his tail feathers as they flew north over the river and disappeared. I was thinking maybe Beauty was mad that he didn’t bring food-she loves to keep those kids filled up. Around 6:38am DC landed on cam 1.

A few minutes later Beauty flew in and knocked DC off of cam 1 and took his place and DC flew over to the Mercury money bag (MMB).

I went over to the parking lot next to the TSB to get a better angle on Beauty and where I could also see DC over on Mercury.

At first the Beautyful one was gaping a lot but she soon stopped and some scratching was  included in between looking around. DC meanwhile, was doing some preening over on the money bag. They both disappeared while I wasn’t watching and as I made my way up to the BSB Donna texted me that Beauty was at the nest. Thanks!I couldn’t see her so I started watching the log removal down in the river below the Main St. bridge. They had made a lot of progress since yesterday morning with that.

I gave a glance up at the nest box and caught a glimpse of Beauty perched on the front ledge preening.

Once again while I was off getting coffee DC delivered food as reported by Donna (TY) and when I got to the hole around 8am DC was on the top ibeam west corner of OCSR.

DC flew off at 8:09 am or so and Beauty took his place there around 8:15am Beauty flew west fast and DC appeared on cam 1. Larry joined me at this time for a short time.

<Beauty> <DC

Next thing I knew DC was landing on the deck and going into the nest box. Beauty was on cam 1 now. I had reported the opposite and both Donna and Campgee let me know. Thanks ladies!

Larry left and I decided to end my watch as well around 8:30am. I drove out of downtown smiling as I usually do after sharing space with our Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
