I was treated to seeing Billie and 99 at Seneca Towers this morning. When I first got set up on Seth Green Drive I saw 99 on the west side railing at 6:40am.
At 7:47am 99 flew down to the south end of the building where he landed on the roof antenna then attempted to land on the southwest corner-the wind kept him hovered just above it.
Billie flew in from the southwest and joined him on the wing as they gave me a lovely air show riding the wind currents. When they were done they settled on the antenna close to each other-they were so cute acting all excited to see each other. You can see it on one of my videos.
Billie flew off and did some showing off for 99 going out over the river and around the building back by him again as he watched from his spot on the antenna.
Buffalo Billie ended up landing on the northwest corner of the roof showing only her head as if to say peek a boo while 99 remained on the antenna looking her direction. A few minutes later 99 flew off to the east out of view and his girl flew off right after him.
I left for downtown at that point where I spotted Beauty under the northeast wing as I turned onto the Broad St. Bridge from South Ave. I went down to Basin St. in the hole just in time to get a couple shots of her as she flew off to the north at 7:20am.
I flew north myself and caught up to the Beautyful one as she joined Dot.Ca (DC) on the Frontier Communications Tower. She was on her northeast cube and he was right above her on the northeast corner of the platform.
While I was admiring the changing leaves on a couple trees and a phone booth by the Frontier building DC left the tower but Beauty remained to do some preening.
I had leave early today ending my watch around 7:50am but I was smiling for having shared space with Rochester’s 4 Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
