It was a very nice day, with temps in the 40’s (F).  During my watch, it started to lightly rain and the winds picked up.  Some snow is expected overnight.

From in front of the Raddison, I found Beauty on the north side of OCSR on the top IBeam.  Now where was Dot.ca?  Within moments of asking that question, Dot.ca flew in towards the building carrying prey.  He flew directly in front of Beauty and she took off, joining him to fly together in front of the Times Square Bldg and back.  To me it looked like he was making an offering to her.  They both landed on a south side Ibeam, ee-chups filled the air.

Beauty took off and flew back around to the north side, landing on the top Ibeam.  I could see that she had a full crop, so she probably wasn’t hungry.  Dot.ca settled in to plucking and eating.  No sense letting it go to waste.  I believe that I had witnessed a bit of courtship behavior between Beauty and Dot.ca.

I checked for falcons in the other locations, but found none at KP West, Brighton Site (BS), Seneca Towers (ST), Medley Center (MC) and Russell Station.  Although I did not find any other Rochester Falcons, I was very happy to see Beauty and Dot.ca together.
