Weekend Fledge Watch in the Gorge! – 7/25, 7/26 & 7/27/14

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

Let’s see if I can remember all the watchers that were out with me this weekend.  Sorry if I forget anyone.  Dana, Dan, Kathy O, Jeanne, Joyce, Larry O, Pat, Lisa McK, Susan C, Shaky & Kelly.

Sorry that I have no time to write up a report, but I did want to post some pictures from a fabulous four days of watching our young falcons flying in and around the High Falls Gorge area.  It has been a treat for all the Rochester Watchers to again be able to watch from the pedestrian bridge over the Genesee River.  It brings back such wonderful memories of past falcon watches.  All 4 juvies have been seen over the past three days and all are doing well.  Beauty continues her molt, but has joined in to help supply food to her young alongside Dot.ca and we saw her flying with Tesh in the gorge.  It has been a joy to watch these juvies spread their wings and fly high.

Here are some pictures from my watches, including a few at the end by my friend Joyce.  You can see why we all enjoy this area so much.  Enjoy and goodnight!
