Morning watch 6-14-14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Yes, the humidity has left us and the temperature has gone down. 54 (F) 12 (C) to start the day with sunshine and breezy conditions
Happy Flag Day! SALUTE!
I spotted Beauty on the main cam as I drove across the Broad St. bridge (BSB) around 6:30am and after I stopped my car in the hole parking lot she flew off heading southeast.

The Beautyful one flew out to chase Dot.Ca (DC) back to the deck where she grabbed the food he had brought with him and took it to the nest box to feed their family of 4-then he flies off. This is their regular morning ritual.
This time DC flew to the 2nd ibeam south corner of OCSR-sometimes he goes to the statue of Mercury. He was still looking to catch more food and at 7:05am he stooped off OCSR and ended up on cam 1 empty taloned.
DC was very alert turning his head very quickly and very often-still in hunt mode.
I had to quit early today at 7:50am so, that’s all she wrote for this short but sweet morning watch in which I saw both downtown adult Rochester Peregrine Falcons doing their thing which includes making me smile! 🙂

Great shots of DC, MAK! We’re not seeing him much at the nestbox now, so it’s great to see he’s delivering the goods. He’s just so darned cute!

Great shots of DC, I especially like the ones with the shadow.

Thanks for the pictures.I always enjoy what you post. Have to admit though,DC is my favorite,so stately and a good provider to the children. DC lets Beauty do what she wants and doesn’t give her much of an argument.She is of course,an excellent mom and so caring and loving. Lots of humans could learn from these parent falcons. Diane

Thanks Pat-he is quite photogenic and yes, very cute!
dee, I like the shadow shots too. Thank you for commenting!
tapper gal glad to hear you’re enjoying my stuff! DC has turned out to be an excellent provider and father. They haven’t always gotten along with each other but they’re a well oiled machine now in the family bringing up department. Maybe some human parents WILL learn from them through this website. One can only hope! Thanks for your comment-I appreciate it. 🙂
