My first sighting came from the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) where I spotted Dot.Ca (DC) on Times Square under the northeast wing. I went to the hole parking lot next to He’s Chinese to watch him.

A few minutes later he was gone without leaving a calling card as to what direction he went because I missed his departure! I headed over to the east side on Woodbury St. where I found Beauty on the 5th column of Xerox south side. I then moved to Chestnut St. for a front view of her. The sun was shining bright on her as she stayed only a few minutes before flying southwest.

I caught up with the Beautyful one on the top ibeam south corner of OCSR-I started in the hole and then went to Graves St. next to Aqueduct Park. She was looking around a lot and did some preening in between. She walked away from the corner a couple times only to return to it before spreading her wings and flying south after hanging out with me for an hour.

10 minutes later I found DC on the Frontier Communications Tower perched on the northeast platform railing corner. Beauty was on the platform with food. She must have grabbed some cached food on her way over since there were no feathers being pulled out and she was done eating within minutes. Of course DC was whining at her from his corner!

When Beauty was done she did some feaking, roused and turned around to face her mate. I stayed a short time before I had to get going-I was meeting Joyce to take a trip out to the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge and Syracuse, NY where Pigott resides now. I will get to those pics and videos later today as it is 1:30am and I need some shut eye.

I left our downtown Peregrine Falcon pair on FCT at 8:30am smiling and the rest of this banner day with nature kept me smiling! 🙂
