By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

Just a quickie report today since there wasn’t much action. And because of the dark,rainy conditions I have only one semi decent pic of Beauty to show.

I checked the Brighton site first before heading downtown with no luck finding  a falcon. As I parked on the Broad St. bridge I could clearly see the Beautyful one perched atop cam 4.  She flew over to OCSR and did some preening of her wet feathers during a break in the on and off rain showers.

I was parked down in the hole and walking around in that area watching Beauty and looking at Times Square in case Dot.Ca decided to show up. She then went to the nest box which I managed to miss and only knew because Donna told me. I went back up on the bridge and caught a glimpse of DC under the northeast wing before he left for parts unknown. It was then that Donna let me know that he had been on cam 4 briefly and Beauty had bowed to him before he left for the wing where I saw him. Hmm, seems like maybe Donna had more of a watch than I did sitting in her home in New Jersey looking at the cams on her laptop! lol Thanks for your help D!

Beauty returned to the top ibeam south side of OCSR with her back to me not moving so I took a ride back over to Brighton thinking perhaps DC went there to meet or just look for Pigott but all was quiet with no falcons to be found. While I was on my way back to downtown Shaky tweeted that Beauty was on the money bag hand of Mercury which I was sorry to have missed and left before I got to the bridge. When I did return she was back on the top ibeam of OCSR again in pretty much the same spot as before I left. And that my friends is all she wrote for this day. I ended my watch a little over 3 hours after starting it looking at my favorite falcon Beauty who makes me smile whenever I see her! 🙂
