Baby it’s cold outside! When I left for my watch it was 15 (F) -9 (C) degrees with windy, overcast conditions. When I ended my watch at 9:15am it was down to 9 (F) -14 (C)

As I left Seneca Towers I spotted a falcon flying over the river gorge heading north-when it didn’t come back and land on the building I took off for downtown. I made 2 trips around and as I was at the Radisson Hotel to check the OCSR elevator shaft I spotted Beauty over on the south side arch of Kodak Office (KO). The shaft was empty so I drove down to State St. below KO.

The Beautyful one was all foofed up to keep warm and was actively watching for breakfast to present itself. The steady strong wind was blowing her feathers up.

At 8:23am Beauty flew off in a hurry to the southwest-I watched until she disappeared into the gray sky. I waited a few minutes to see if she would return then I left for the Times Square area.

15 minutes later, after searching the east and south parts of downtown, I went to the Radisson Hotel to check the elevator shaft. This time there was a falcon in there on the north side ledge with its back to me.

The few times that it turned its head I thought that it was Dot.ca as it seemed bright white like him but I can’t positively say it was him.

At any rate, I had business to attend to so I ended my watch at 9:15am leaving whomever it was in the elevator shaft. Stay warm and keep smiling! 🙂
