It was mostly cloudy with little pockets of sunshine and blue skies at times and a temperature of 42 (F) 5 (C)

I saw a falcon fly past my living room window heading north as I was getting ready to leave for my watch. When I checked from East Ridge Rd. Billie and Seth were in the same spots as yesterday morning with her on the northwest corner and him on the north window ledge.

Seth, who doesn’t move around too much while Billie is around to watch, actually did a couple stretches to show us the yellow tape on his right leg band and his gorgeous wings as Billie looked on.

I left them around 7:30am and headed downtown where I spotted Beauty on the base of Mercury from the Andrews St. Bridge. I drove over to the Broad  St. Bridge for closer viewing as she was keeping track of everything around her.

She locked in on some pigeons who were foolishly flying near her so she took off and gave chase. She was unsuccessful in catching one, but boy was it fun to watch as she and the pigeons darted back and forth over the river at break neck speed.

Beauty flew off to the northwest and so did I, finding her and Dot.ca (DC) on the north side of Widows Walk below the railing from Basin St. in the hole.

DC left while I tweeted out their whereabouts and the Beautyful one moved to the northeast corner with her back to me so I went over to Fitzhugh St. to observe.

I shared space with her for half hour or so then I went looking for DC who was napping and appeared to have food in his crop on the top I-beam southeast side of OCSR. I started out in the hole then went down to Graves St. by Aqueduct Park.

I left him to it and drove over to the Medley Centre where I found pigeons and gulls eating from a pile of bread someone left in the north side parking lot of the mall. Clearly, Big Frank has changed her routine since she hasn’t been seen at the mall in quite a few days.

I headed for home and found Billie and Seth in the same place at Seneca Towers as when I left them earlier, on the northwest corner and north window ledge thus ending my watch at 9:15am. It was a quiet watch showing our two pair of Rochester Peregrine Falcons in fine shape which gives all of us reason to smile! 🙂
