Morning Falcon Watch 12-5-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It sounds like a broken record, but it was overcast and gloomy again this morning with a temperature of 39 (F) 4 (C)
I could barely make out someone’s back on the northwest corner of Seneca Towers as I looked up from the north end of my parking lot so I drove over to East Ridge Rd. It looked small to so I surmised that it was Seth.
I watched him for about 15 minutes as he looked to be in hunt mode. It took me 2 trips around downtown before I found a falcon and his name is Dot.ca (DC). As I was checking the OCSR elevator shaft from Bragdon Place I spotted him on the Ellwanger & Barry green strip over on State St.
By the time I got over there he was gone so I went in search of and as I was parked on the Andrews St. bridge I spotted Beauty on the northeast corner of the Crossroads building and DC across the way from her on the top I-beam north corner of OCSR-they both had their backs to me. Everybody was giving me the cold shoulder this morning. lol
I first went to State St. to watch but didn’t like the view so I left and went to the end of Graves St. to see the front of Beauty.
I couldn’t see DC at all from there so I returned to Bragdon Place for yet another view of the two of them. It was at this time that I noticed DC had a full crop and the Beautyful one had an empty one.
I watched from there for a bit then returned to Graves St. for one more look at Beauty before taking a ride down Main St. to check out the decorated store windows.

I left downtown and checked the Medley Centre but all I found there was pigeons, gulls and a crow eating a pile of bread that someone had put in the northwest end of the parking lot.
So I went home to Seneca Towers where I found no falcons. I ended my watch at 9:45am happy and smiling that I saw DC this morning! 🙂

MAK, I’m just getting caught up on the Falcon Watches. I love the pics of the Christmas display. Where is it on Main Street?
