By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

Boy it sure was a quiet watch this morning since Dan is on vacation this week and his buddy Larry isn’t coming down to the bridge I kinda don’t know what to do with myself when there’s no falcons either. Well I just need to switch into off season mode after enjoying our young Orion making things exciting around here.

Upon arriving on the Broad Street Bridge(BSB) there wasn’t a falcon to be found which was the theme today. I took a walk over to the east side to check HSBC but I had no luck there either so I took a couple pics just for fun of HSBC and Xerox as I stood below them.

I walked back to the BSB and sat at a picnic table by the Rundell Library where I could see the Frontier Communications Tower(FCT) as well as Times Square, OCSR,jaill tower,Mercury and the river area. DebbieH came over to join me on her way to work and right after she arrived so too did a falcon flying in from the southeast. It landed under the northeast wing of TSB and then another falcon flew in from the north and flew near it as they both flew off. Dot.Ca went to the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR and appeared to be eating something small. Beauty flew around to the backside of the Crossroads building and disappeared.

It happened so fast I could only get a pic of whichever one of them was under the wing as it flew off. Debbie left for work and DC ate what he had and left as well. That made me falconless again for a few minutes until I noticed a pefa fly in from the east and go behind the northeast wing and seemed to be readying itself to land back there. I went down to State St. to check but found nothing up there so i thought I might as well go to City Hall and check FCT as long as I was almost there anyway. Again I struck out, so I decided my best chance to find one of our fine feathered friends was to go to the top of the South Ave. garage. On the way I looked in the river for a photo op but there was just the usual ducks and gulls. So on top of the garage and having no luck finding a pefa I decided to call it a watch and head for the bus stop on Main St. Although I had such a brief time to observe Beauty and DC I still felt I had reason to smile for having seen them at all! 🙂
