Morning watch 11-7-14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was a cold and rainy morning in Rochester with wet snow mixing at times and a temperature of 40 (F) 4 (C)
Not much to report today as my watch consisted of no falcons seen at Seneca Towers and watching Beauty in the rain for an hour.
I first found the Beautyful one at 7:15am on the Wilder buildings green strip (WGS) with her back to the world down near the southeast corner. I parked on Aqueduct St. in the hole behind the Thomson Reuters building.
She was all scrunched down doing her best to keep the rain off the front of her. She flew east around 7:30am at which time I left to check the east side and possibly find Dot.Ca (DC).
I had no luck and so returned to the hole where once again I found Beauty on the WGS only this time she was closer to the southwest corner next to the fire escape ladder.
Beauty kept looking in my direction-I believe she may have been watching the cherry picker over on Broad St. where a couple guys were cleaning windows on the Thomson Reuters building behind me. She shook the rain off herself a few times and preened a tiny bit while I watched her. In one pic her expression seemed pretty disgusted with the weather-I wasn’t too thrilled with it myself! lol
I left her to it and thought since DC hadn’t shown his face he might be in his man cave, the OCSR elevator shaft. I drove over to the Radisson Hotel by Main St. to check it out and sure enough he was high and dry on the north side ledge.
I had to drop my car off for some repairs so I ended my watch at this time, around 8:30am. I was happy to have seen any falcons at all in the dismal weather which made a smile cross my face! 🙂

I’ll bet DC checked to see if Beauty was eating and then went into a dry hole to wait out the rain…A wily one to be sure…Smiles for seeing the pair of them ..Thanks, MAK

Patricia and June, I have no doubt that DC checked if Beauty had food before heading up to his comfy man cave! He is a smart dude!!! 🙂
