What a difference a day makes! It was 20 degrees warmer than the last couple mornings. It seems that Beauty has a bit of a new routine hanging out on the north side of OCSR in the first part of the day.

After walking up on the Broad St. bridge, then to the east side and back, with no falcon sightings I hung out on the bridge for a bit. DebbieH came by to visit enroute to work and after she left I went to Tim Hortons for coffee and a raisin oatmeal cookie. I had been told that whenever I get one of the cookies something happens with the falcons so I thought I’d give it a shot. Well, nearly 2 hrs. into my watch I finally found our little sleeping Beauty on the north corner top ibeam of OCSR(so I guess the cookie might have worked)lol. I set up in the same spot as yesterday to watch the Beautyful one-on the riverside walkway behind the Rochester Plaza Hotel.

When Beauty awoke  from her initial nap she first put her back to me for a bit and then she moved to the west of the corner.

She started preening and the sky started spitting a little so I decided I’d head out for the next bus. Just before I left she fell asleep again and as I passed I just couldn’t resist stopping at the bottom of OCSR and taking a pic of her tail feathers  hanging off the edge .

This is the kind of stuff that makes me smile! 🙂
