Sunday Falcon Watch – As We Spring Ahead! – 3/13/16
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
9:00 am – 1:00 pm
(Daylight Saving Time – Remember to turn your clocks ahead an hour!)
It was 44 degrees when I started my falcon watch at 9:00 am. Not as nice a day as it was yesterday, but it was sunny for most of it. I believe there is rain in the forecast for most of this coming week. I was joined on my watch by friends and fellow watchers Dana and Lou. It was great to see them. We mostly watched from the Broad St. Bridge. But I moved down to Aqueduct St (aka “the hole”) when they left.
While I was there, Beauty and Dot.ca copulated (mated) twice. Dot.ca chased a Turkey Vulture out fo the area. A Coopers Hawk flew over the Times Square Bldg. Neither Beauty or Dot.ca paid too much attention to it. Here are some pictures from my watch. Enjoy!
(If you hover your cursor over a picture, it will describe what the picture is.)
I also checked out Seneca Towers and Medley Ctr. From across the river at Seneca Towers, I saw one falcon on the northwest railing. I was looking directly into the sun and could not tell if it was Billie or Seth. No Falcons seen at Medley Ctr.
