Morning watch 1-8-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Sun prevailed this morning in a cold kingdom-temperature from start to finish was 7 (F) -14 (C) and a biting wind making it feel like -15 (F)
It was a short watch for me this morning-I didn’t get downtown until after 8am because of slow moving traffic. The first place I checked turned out to be the last place I had to check-the OCSR elevator shaft. First, from the south end of the Radisson Hotel by Main St. where I can see the north side ledge. I believe it was Beauty tucked way in on that one as she mostly had her back to me, but I did see her preen a little.
I went over to the north end of the hotel on Bragdon Place where I can see up onto the south side ledge of the elevator shaft. I believe this was Dot.ca with his back to me and not even moving his head so I could catch a glimpse of his whiteness.
And that’s all she wrote folks-I stayed until 9:15am watching a couple falcon backs which is a lot like watching paint dry. lol Still, just knowing the Beautyful one and DC have a place to go is enough to make me smile! 🙂

Thanks for checking on our feathery friends on such a cold day, MAK. My leg needs a rest so I didn’t make it to work today. I probably wouldn’t have seen them anyway, as I’ll bet they spent most of the day in the elevator shaft.
