Morning Falcon Watch 12-4-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
More gloomy weather with overcast conditions but mild temperature of 40 (F) 4 (C)
I had no falcons at Seneca Towers to greet me this morning as I started my watch. When I got downtown, it wasn’t until I checked the east side of the river that I found Beauty on a northeast corner of Legacy Tower eating. I was parked on Elm St. and quite soon after arriving she finished eating and flew off to the northwest.
She had a pretty full crop on her. As I was driving onto the Broad St. bridge I spotted her on the top I-beam southeast side of OCSR. I went to the Radisson Hotel by Main St. to watch her and check the elevator shaft for Dot.ca (DC).
The Beautyful one turned her back to me after doing some cleaning up from her meal so I set out to look for DC again. No luck finding him today again. I suspect he may be going over to the Brighton site or perhaps he has migrated. I ended up on Bank Place where it meets Aqueduct St. in the hole.
Beauty was looking southeast predominately so it made me wonder if she could see DC somewhere over there. Unfortunately, I had to leave for an appointment and couldn’t look for him anymore ending my watch at 8:30am.
Later, as I was on my way home to Seneca Towers and crossing the Veteran’s Memorial bridge a falcon flew up from below the bridge just above the railing to my right not more than 10 feet away then back down into the gorge. You can be sure that put a smile on this watchers face! 🙂
