By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

Joyce picked me up for a watch this afternoon and as we made our way downtown we stopped by the Frontier Communications Tower after getting a tweet that Beauty was on it. Dana and Carol P were there. I was very excited to see the Beautiful one on her favorite spot of the FCT for I hadn’t seen her there since before her battle with Unity back in February.

She was rain soaked and preening herself and I was so loving this time spent sharing space with her. She soon flew off to the south seemingly to Times Square but when we got to the Broad St. bridge after picking Brian up Beauty was on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR.

We didn’t stay long as we wanted to check KP for the new pefa that has been seen hanging out there. I spotted it immediately as it perched on a railing by the red door of the east stack.

It started to pour of rain and we missed this pefa leave. CarolP and Dana came by to join us. We stayed just a little longer hoping it would come back. Joyce then decided we’d go to the Irondequoit Bay in search of the Bald Eagles nesting there. We didn’t find them but Brian spotted a migrating juvie above the eastern tree line. So we did see an eagle and then on the way back while going west bound down the 104 expressway Brian saw a Peregrine chasing a pigeon over the Medley Center. We doubled back to check the Irondequoit Mall and surrounding area but were not able to locate it. One more check at KP proved fruitless and then Joyce dropped me off home. It was a splash and go watch with all the pop up showers and thunder showers but still we always manage to smile on our falcon watches! 🙂
