Morning watch 2-16-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

At -6 (F) -21 (C) we missed tying the record for the lowest temperature in history on this date. That’s fine by me and also fine by me was calm wind which can make a world of difference with these sub-zero temps. It was overcast until after my watch when the sun was able to break out

Not much to report today other than my phone had more problems sending out my tweets but they eventually made it after I was home at Seneca Towers. lol I’m sorry to report I didn’t see Billie or 99 either before or after my downtown watch. I found Dot.ca (DC) right off the bat when I checked the north side ledge of the OCSR elevator shaft from the Radisson Hotel near Main St. DC was moving his head up and down leading me to believe he was eating but after seeing my video of him on the bigger computer screen it appeared he was preening.

I left DC after 10 minutes or so to look for Beauty-I checked downtown and Kodak Office (KO) a couple times with no luck but as they say: third time’s the charm. While parked on the Andrews St bridge I spotted her on the south side arch of KO so I went down to my spot on State St. just north of Platt St. to observe her.

The Beautyful one had a full crop so wherever she was when I was looking for her she was eating.  I shared space with her for maybe 20 minutes then I was ready to get home to see if Billie and/or 99 was there. As I said no luck in that department. I ended my watch around 8:30am. Keep smiling everyone! 🙂
