It was a warm 29(F) -2(C) degrees as I stepped out for my morning watch-overcast with some light snow flurries in the air but the sun came out toward the end

I found Beauty on Legacy Tower as this is the morning eating spot-on one of the northeast corners as she seems to prefer these northeast corners.

Spent the next 15 minutes finishing her breakfast followed by cleaning duties-feaking, picking at her talons for that last little crumb and at 7:50am Beauty flew west. All part of her daily routine and mine!

As I pulled out onto Clinton Ave. I stopped below the Chase tower for a pic, I like to take pics of tall buildings looking up from below them.

I continued down to Main St. checking all points between there and the Kodak Office Tower (KO). When I arrived on State St. I spotted Beauty on the south side arch, another one of her morning spots. As I arrived I received a message from Donna saying she thought it was Dot.ca (DC) on cam 1. I confirmed it as I was looking at the Beautyful one on KO at the time. I left for the hole to check out DC and he was still there when I arrived.

DC was very alert watching every little bird in the immediate area. There were 2 starlings flitting around in a dumpster behind He’s Chinese that he seemed very interested in but never came down to take a swipe at them. DC picked at his talons a little bit and pooped.

At 7:48am DC spread his wings and flew off to the north-I knew where he was going-to find his girl.

I left, stopping at the traffic light at Main and State St. for a quick pic of the sign hanging in the Tim Horton’s where I stopped for coffee every day. Being in the same block as Times Square and the nest site made it very convenient. I’ll miss it and the friends I made there.

Onward down State St. to KO where I found Beauty still on the arch and DC above her on the southeast corner of the Launchpad.

The sun was out at this point and our dynamic downtown duo were enjoying the warmth it was bringing. DC wasn’t facing me but Beauty was and she was looking just like her name.

I left them and headed home to see if Billie or 99 were at Seneca Towers. As I crossed the Veteran’s Memorial bridge at just about 10am I spotted a falcon on the north end of the building on the top window ledge, but by the time I got over to the church to check it was gone. I smiled knowing how blessed I am to see falcons every day of my life! 🙂
