New Year’s morning Falcon Watch 1-1-16
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was a very dark morning with light snow, a bit of a breeze and a temperature of 33(F) 1 (C)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I saw neither Billie or Seth at Seneca Towers (ST) this morning-perhaps there was too much partying last night. When I arrived on the Broad St. bridge downtown I spotted Beauty on the top I-beam southeast side of OCSR. I went down to the hole parking lot to observe.
She started preening so I knew she wasn’t going anywhere for a bit so I set out to look for Dot.ca (DC). I wasn’t able to find him so after checking to see that the Beautyful one was still on OCSR I left to check the Brighton site (BS).
Upon arriving at BS I found the unbanded PEFA there on the southeast extension below the tree on the 2nd window ledge down.
After a few minutes this falcon stood up and walked across to the opposite end of the ledge as the half snow/half sleet pelted us both.
I moved over too, so I could get a full last shot of this falcon before moving along.
On my way thru downtown to check on the Medley Centre over in Irondequoit I stopped long enough to see that Beauty was still on OCSR. I didn’t see one bird of any kind at the mall or Seneca Towers so I ended my watch at 9am after seeing 2 Peregrine Falcons, and by the way, I was smiling!! 🙂
