Monday Evening Falcon Watch – A Warm, Humid Evening! – 6/2/14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
6:30 to 8:15 pm
Another gorgeous evening with temps in the mid-80’s. When I arrived downtown, I found Dana on the Broad St Bridge. Beauty was up on Camera #1 aka Pan Cam. We looked for Dot.ca, but could not find him. We decided to move down to Aqueduct St (aka “the hole”).

Beauty took off and stooped over us heading east towards the river. She just missed catching a Starling. Beauty returned to Camera #1.

Kathy O stopped by for a short visit before heading home. Dana and I decided to head up to the Broad St Bridge (BSB) hoping to find Dan, but he wasn’t there. At 7:40 pm, Dot.ca flew over the river heading east fast. We didn’t see where he came from. We lost sight of him near the old Midtown Plaza. Ten minutes later he returned, flying towards the Times Square Bldg. He veered off to the south and landed on the top arm of the jail communication tower.

It was 8:00 pm and time for me to end my watch. I said goodbye to Dana and headed down Broad St heading towards the Times Square Bldg. While I was stopped at the light, Beauty flew off Camera #1 and headed south. I followed and found that she had landed two arms below Dot.ca on the jail communication tower.

At 8:15 pm, I headed home, but I looked back one last time when I turned onto Exchange. Both Beauty and Dot.ca were gone. It was time to really end my watch. Goodnight everyone!
