It was a chilly 25 (F) -4 (C) degrees with mostly sunny skies, barely a breeze and about 3 inches of snow had fallen overnight. Below is a pic of the Genesee River gorge below my apartment this morning before I left

For the second day in a row I didn’t see Billie or Seth when I began my watch. I did see who I thought was Seth fly past my living room window last night just before the sun set heading toward the northwest corner of Seneca Towers and a falcon flew past just a few minutes ago as well. So they are around just not when I’m out looking for them in the morning.

It wasn’t until I was crossing the Court St. bridge downtown that I found Beauty and Dot.ca (DC)-both were on the top I-beam southeast side of OCSR so I drove over to the Radisson Hotel at Main St. for the best place to observe them. When I first arrived DC was doing some stretching and then, like Beauty he turned his back to the nice sun that was beating on them.

They both did a bit of preening and both pooped as I watched them from across the river.

That’s about all they did while I shared space with them-pretty uneventful and I was a bit chilled as my car heater isn’t working so I left them to it at about 8:05am.

That’s all she wrote folks, as I didn’t see any falcons at the Medley Centre or Seneca Towers when I got home. I was smiling when I ended my watch at 9:15am after having seen our resident downtown pair of Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
