Wednesday Evening Falcon Watch – 6/4/14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
6:30 pm – 8:30 pm – 67 degrees with a cool breeze off of the river. Jacket weather for sure after the warmth of the last few evening watches. Tomorrow morning is supposed to be downright chilly.
The evening watchers were Dan S, Kathy O, Larry O and Carol P.
There was some flying tonight, but not like yesterday when it was non-stop flying by Beauty and Dot.ca. Our most exciting moment was when, in the beginning of our watch, we looked up to see Beauty hovering over us, hanging on the wind, very low. It only lasted a few seconds, before she drifted off to the north. Love seeing them close up like that! I’m sure she was on a hunt. There are many pigeons that go under the Broad St. Bridge.
Beauty flew to the Times Square Bldg and landed on Camera #1, aka Pan Cam. Dot.ca was over on the south side of OCSR (First Federal Bldg) on the top IBeam.

After Larry arrived, Dot.ca took off and flew over the river and then south. He seemed to definitely be on a hunt. Dot.ca ended up on the top arm of the jail communication tower.

After awhile, Dot.ca took off and headed south, low over Cornhill. He crossed over the river behind the Frederick Douglas-Susan B Anthony Bridge. We lost sight of him after that. When I left at 8:30 pm, he had not returned. At least I didn’t see him return. Beauty remained on Camera #1.
I’ll leave you with some pics I took of the Rochester Falcon neighborhood during my watch. If you put your cursor over the picture, it will tell you what it is. Goodnight everyone!
