Morning Fledge Watch 6-29-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

Another misty rain and foggy morning with a temperature of 56 (F) 13(C)

To start my watch I had Beauty on the top ibeam south corner of OCSR and Genesee on the Crossroads building. He flew from the northeast corner to the southeast corner. He was whining the whole time and then he was gone. I spotted Cadence on the southeast corner of the Powers building around 6am . She slipped behind the railing as Genesee showed up on the railing and then he vanished again. From the corner of Main and Aqueduct St. I watched as Beauty left OCSR and Cadence came back into view. She then walked down to the southwest corner and went out of view.

15 minutes later Beauty was back on OCSR top ibeam southeast side and Genesee was on the southwest side. Cadence flew off Powers and Genesee followed her as they both flew over by Beauty. One of them tried to knock her off but she stayed put as they flew over Wilder and it looked like they landed up there. I drove around until I found a spot where I could see the top of Wilder-from the Andrews St. Bridge (ASB) I could see one juvie on the elevator shaft. I left and found Beauty on the east side railing of Widows Walk (WW). While On the Court St. bridge I got out and checked the river-it was once again raging from the rain we got yesterday and the flat rocks were under water again.

Half hour later the Wilder juvie was gone and Beauty was on the east side platform railing of the Frontier Communications tower (FCT). From my position at the northeast corner of the City Hall parking lot I could also see the Powers building. There was a juvie on the northeast corner of it and soon after I spotted it the Beautyful one took off heading southeast and flying right past Powers. I left there and found Dot.Ca (DC) on the top ibeam west corner of OCSR and a juvie on the east side of Widows walk (WW). It flew north before I could ID it.

Around 8:30am I spotted Cadence on the 2nd railing southeast corner of Powers-soon after Genesee flew in with food. He landed on the east side railing with it and promptly walked north out of view. I went to the ASB to find that Cadence was now on the east side watching Genesee eat. I had to leave and get some food myself as I had low blood sugar at that time.

When I returned the food was gone and Cadence was on the southeast corner 2nd railing and Genesee was a couple feet from her on the east side. I left for home but didn’t find any falcons at Seneca Towers today.

I ended my watch at 10:15am with a smile after seeing all 4 downtown Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂

    I love the pictures of the sibs just hangin’. Thanks, MAK. I’m glad you got something to eat, too.

  2. MAK Says:

    Yeah, I had the shakes pretty bad this morning-I try to eat every 3-4 hours. If I don’t, Diabetes gets the best of me. I love it when they hang together-makes it easy to keep track of them! 🙂

    Good to see all’s well in the Rochester PEFA world. Pretty cute seeing Cadence patiently watching Genesee while he was eating. Thanks for your report, MAK. Needless to say, if not for all of you watchers, we would have no way of knowing how they’re doing!

    If it weren’t for you guys at home I wouldn’t write reports. I want you all to experience what I do even if it is only through my account of things. 🙂
