By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

I was treated to having wheels today thus affording me the chance to get out of downtown on my morning watch to check both KP and BS. As luck would have it after 2 separate trips to both KP and BS there were no falcons to be found.

I checked the west side as I approached the Times Square area and saw nothing on the FCT,jail tower,KO,OCSR,Widows Walk or the back of Times Square. A quick stop on the Broad St. bridge facing east turned up nothing on Xerox,Bausch&Lomb or Midtown and looking down river to the north  I saw no pefas either. I left for BS and after 2 trips around the building I left unfulfilled.

Returning to downtown from the east side I saw nothing on HSBC,Midtown, Xerox or any of the other buildings over there. I tweeted my findings or lack there of and Donna texted me saying Beauty was next to the main cam. While stopped at the intersection of South Ave. and Broad St. I brought my binocs up to my eyes and spotted the Beautyful one. I then parked on the bridge and stepped out to get a pic.

Beauty then took off flying over to the OCSR landing on the 2nd from the top ibeam at the west corner. I drove down to the hole(Aqueduct St.) to take pics.

At this point I decided to check KP for the falcon that’s been hanging out there lately. No luck finding it and while I was there I was told there was a shift change between Dot.Ca and Beauty. So I thought I’d go back to BS and see if Dot.Ca went over there to pay Pigott a visit. I was disappointed to find nobody there once more. I had a look around downtown on my way through to go back to KP and again could see no pefa but I did watch 2 Turkey Vultures fly through in front of me. The only thing more aggravating than not finding a falcon when you have wheels to search for them is not having wheels to go look for them in the first place! lol As I was leaving the parking lot at KP to return to downtown one last time Donna texted that DC  was back on the eggs. I had time for a quick check and then I would have to leave. I didn’t find Beauty and so ended my watch. I was happy to have seen her earlier, for any time I see the Beautyful one it makes me smile! 🙂
