It was a bit cloudy to start with a temperature of 60 (F) 16 (C)

Last night at Seneca Towers (ST) from the west balcony I spotted Sellie on the south side bridge ledge eating around 6:15pm. While I was on the balcony I also spotted an osprey in the osprey tree again south of here up river. And I took a couple pics of the small Koi fish pond below across from the main entrance to ST.

He finished eating about a half hour as I observed him from the window at the north end of my 16th floor where I had a bit of a closer view. Joyce was on the west side of the river and saw another larger juvie join Sellie a while later after I went back to my apartment. I think Cadence may be hanging out here the last couple days as I thought I’d seen a big juvie as well.

Sellie done eating

Fast forward to this morning-I spotted a falcon on the south top window ledge but it flew off heading east just as I came to a stop. I waited for it a little bit then headed south to downtown where I had quite a falconless watch until the very end. In my travels I spotted the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile at the Radisson Hotel and I watched the river inhabitants from the Broad St. bridge to entertain myself.

During another trip around downtown I took pics of flowers to keep me from getting bored while our falcons played hide and seek (mostly hide). Hold your cursor over the pics to see the caption that tells where the pics were taken.

I searched for an hour before leaving to run an errand and when I got back the roads were coned off for a running race and most roads were blocked off for the Puerto Rican parade and festival. Traffic was backed up and I didn’t have too many places I could go look for falcons. Floats for the parade were turning down Andrews St. at State St. and lining up on the bridge. I managed to spot Beauty on the bottom arm of the Frontier Communications tower from down on  State St. near Kodak Office.

I had to leave from there as I was in the lane for the runners and just before I pulled away a bunch of motorcycles for the parade went around me followed by a runner.

It was quite the strange falcon watch this morning but the Beautyful one came thru to give me reason to smile! 🙂
