By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

There was a light snow falling with overcast conditions and a temperature of 23 (F) -5 (C)

I was out for an hour and a half, spending most of that time looking for falcons. Upon my third check of the OCSR elevator shaft I spotted a falcon on the north side ledge around 8:20am. The snow that was falling kept me from identifying who it was although I think it was Dot.ca considering the size and what I could see of the white feathers. There may have been another falcon tucked in behind on the north side but can’t say for sure. There definitely wasn’t anybody on the south side ledge.

My phone was acting up-not sending tweets out until half hour after I sent them. Snow was falling, all I could see was the back of a falcon and so I ended my watch at 9am. I wasn’t done yet though, as I stopped on the Driving Park bridge to check out the Lower Falls. To my surprise there was a guy at the top of the frozen falls holding onto a rope that was secured in the ice that went down the falls to another guy at the bottom. He was preparing to climb the falls-I started taping but he was taking too long so I left after 5 minutes because I was freezing! The falls were flowing a bit more than the last time I visited and they made me smile as I left for home at Seneca Towers! 🙂
