Morning watch 2-11-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was 12 (F) -11 (C) with calm conditions and sunny to start the day
After finding no falcons at Kodak Office (KO) or the OCSR elevator shaft I made my way up South Ave. toward the Broad St. bridge and spotted Beauty on a northeast corner of Bausch & Lomb eating. I drove to Elm St. behind Midtown for the best view and just as I pulled over she finished eating and started feaking.
I had just started to tape the Beautyful one when she flew off to the northwest. I checked the Times Square area, elevator shaft and all the usual downtown spots-no sign of Dot.ca (DC). I did find a healthy supply of food all huddled together on the Thomson Reuters building. I then went down State St. to check KO and found Beauty there on the south side arch cleaning up some more from her meal.

After she was done she turned away from me giving me a side view. She was keeping track of some pigeons that were chasing each other around on the roof of a lower building roof to the south of the tower.
I left Beauty to look for DC but never found him. When I got home to Seneca Towers there were no falcons present and after checking the north side of the building I drove down St. Paul St. about a quarter of a mile to Seneca Park to check on the birds that reside in the pond there. There was open water on the northwest side where they were all congregated.
I ended my watch at 9:30am with a sunny smile draped across my lips! 🙂
When I came home from walking Bella this afternoon I spotted Billie and 99 on the northwest corner of Seneca Towers. Can’t say who was who since I didn’t have my camera or binoculars but one of them was on the railing and one on the roof. Watcher Pat saw DC in the elevator shaft this afternoon also, so all 4 Rochester Peregrine Falcons were seen today.
