Falcon Watch Monday – 10/1/12 – First Day of October Quick Update
By Rochester Falcon Watchers Carol P, Lisa McK & Kathy O
Not much to report today. We were all out at different times, but there isn’t much to report on this first day of October.
Carol P – I checked KP twice, once in the morning at 6:45 am & once around 4:00 pm. Both times, I did not see any Peregrines.
Kathy O reported from the BS location. She spent quite awhile out there this afternoon and did not see any falcons during that time.
Lisa McK spent some time downtown from 6-7 pm. She reports the following:
6:10 pm – One falcon on TS below the NE wing. Juvie Herring gull hanging out with the ring billed gulls.
6:30 pm – Falcon disappeared while I was watching the gulls.
6:31 pm – Now it is back by the base of the SE wing. I think its Beauty.
6:40 pm – Heading home. 1 falcon on TS, 1 watcher on BSB, 1 herring gull in the river and 1 tourist with questions.
Just a quick Falcon Watch update from the Rochester Falcon Watchers that were out today.

Maybe you all didn’t see much of the falcons because they were flying high today? My brother said there was quite a bit of activity…
9:40AM 3 falcons, 1 did flip, they were in the air a lot, “worrying” flocks of small birds.
PM…lots of high, far-reaching flying.
A lot of falcon action today when I was out between 9:45AM-10:45AM and 1:45PM-2:45PM. The smaller birds were flocked together, trying to get away from the falcons who were flying around over them.
