Morning watch 3-5-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

Getting warmer as the temperature was 5 degrees higher this morning than yesterday at 14(F) -10(C) with overcast blustery conditions and very light snow in the air

I arrived downtown about 6:35am finding Dot.ca (DC) plucking feathers from prey on a southeast corner of Legacy Tower (LT) formerly Bausch&Lomb. I pulled over on Clinton Ave. across from Washington Square Park for the best view of him.

DC finished eating after a half hour then stood there on the corner for a few minutes before taking off heading north until he got to Broad St. then he hung a left to head west.

I caught up with him as I pulled over on State St. below Kodak Office (KO). He had joined Beauty on the south side arch-one of their favorite spots to hang out close to each other.

I shared space with the Beautyful one and DC until 8am at which point I wet home to Seneca Towers and found 99 on the top window ledge south end of the building.

I left him for a few minutes to check the north end of the building for Billie and I made it just in time to see her fly south off the top window ledge at the opposite end of Seneca Towers from 99. She didn’t return and she didn’t join 99 as I thought she might do. I returned to St. Paul St. to hang out with 99 for a little longer-he remained alert, watching some sparrows below him in a bush. With a depleted crop he was looking for a meal. I had to get going thus ending my watch at 9am smiling after seeing all 4 Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
