Quickie morning watch 9-7-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
I had to help a friend this morning with something so I didn’t do my usual early morning watch. I landed at City Hall around 10:30am, it took me a bit to find a falcon. At first I thought it was Beauty cuz I could see only its back and there was a bit of dark on white on the side. After it turned and showed its front I knew it was Dot.Ca.
I made my way around to every side of the tower checking from different angles but could not see any other falcons. I concluded that it was moms turn with Orion and that DC was by himself up there.
I left Mr. DC and headed toward the Times Square area to have a look see. I walked down by the river behind OCSR to check the north side as Beauty likes to nap there in the afternoon to get in the shade. Nothing there so I went up to the Main St. bridge which is near my bus stop. I had left the house with only my binocs and camera so I had no bus schedule with me and wanted to be close by as I had to leave soon to help my aunt with a few things. There were no bumps anywhere that I could see so I left downtown at 12:20pm when my bus came ending my short watch. Having seen DC I was satisfied and smiling as I headed out of our fair city! 🙂
