Morning watch 6-11-14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was a very humid morning, overcast with a temperature of 67 (F) 20 (C)-it rained lightly on and off throughout my watch
I had to go looking for our beloved falcons this morning-it was just about 7am when I found one on the east side. From Woodbury St. near the Geva Theater I spotted Beauty on the southwest corner of HSBC and she had food. I drove over to Court St. for a closer view but she left before I could get there. While on my way to the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) I got a tweet from Annette saying Beauty was feeding the eyasses. Thanks!
Around 7:10am I saw Dot.Ca (DC) fly in from the north with food and land on the deck by the main cam so I went down to the hole. DC stood there most likely waiting for Beauty to come out of the nest box and grab the food but after a couple minutes he took off with his small package in tow taking it to the base of Mercury and started eating.
At 7:24am Beauty flew over to join DC bringing a leftover wing with her-they had a bit of a conversation and 5 minutes later at 7:29am DC flew off to the deck with what was left of his prey followed by Beauty who then took the chunk of food from him and went into the nest to feed the kids.

DC flew northeast and when I looked around I spotted who I thought was DC on the top ibeam west corner of OCSR but it turned out to be Beauty.
At 7:43am DC came flying past Beauty from the north heading to the Times Square building and she took off right behind him. Beauty went in the nest box and DC flew over to the Mercury money bag.
While I was watching DC, Beauty-as reported by Annette, went up to cam 1. When I got the tweet at 8:01am I looked, but Beauty was gone already. As I watched DC on Mercury from Broad St. next to the Blue Cross Arena I glanced over at OCSR and could just barely make out the head of Beauty on the top ibeam north side of the west corner.
I left them at 8:30am as they had the nest box and this part of their territory well guarded. Keep smiling! 🙂
