I found Veteran on the west side roof railing of Seneca Towers. He only stayed a couple minutes before he flew off to the south while I was taping him.
He didn’t return so I left for downtown. I searched for 45 minutes then tweeted that I had no sightings. Of course, I found Dot.Ca (DC) right after that! lol As I was crossing the Court St. Bridge I couldn’t help but notice a white speck on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR. I took a pic and headed over to The Radisson Hotel by Main St. for closer viewing.
He stayed there for 40 minutes mainly just looking over his territory. At 8:28am DC turned away from me giving me one last look.
DC scratched a feather out of his head, stretched and flew off to the east over top of me and left my field of vision quickly.
It was a half hour before I would see DC again-this time on the southeast cube of the Frontier Communications Tower. I got some real skunky shots of him as it was just so dark out before I lost him. I don’t know if he flew away or was hidden from me but I couldn’t see him after checking from 3 different angles.
I had to leave to take care of some business and ended my watch officially at 10am after checking the Kodak Park research building. No Beauty or Buffalo Billie sightings today-it was an all boy watch! Ah, that’s good enough to make me smile! 🙂

My husband was working DT and brought his binoculars-he was so excited to be “falcon watching” today! He spotted both Beauty & DC on FCT about 10:30am. They both stayed a while, one flew off then the other. I have to admit I was a little jealous! He’s down there all week, so if you see some construction guy with binoculars, MAK, that’s him!

Oh Bobbie, just because you’re Irish doesn’t mean you have to wear green! (jealousy) lol
Well, they’re awful early shoppers then! 🙂

He’s on the Inner Loop over the Genesse, right by Water St., MAK-he’s in a yellow truck!
