By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

As is my regular routine of checking for falcons I check from the Broad St. bridge (BSB)first and then go to the east side. The crows roost over there in Washington Square Park and surrounding area during the night. This morning as I drove thru, most of them were gone but I stopped to video tape them since their has been lots of interest in the mobs of crow lately. I then proceeded to look for Beauty or any other falcon that might be around enjoying the Christmas lights on the Liberty Pole,East Ave. and Main St.

As I made my way back to the BSB I spotted her on the money bag hand of Mercury from the Main St. bridge. Went down to Aqueduct St. and parked in the hole where I had a good look at the Beautyful one.

She stayed there looking for her breakfast for about 10 minutes and then she flew off to the OCSR building. She landed on the west corner top ibeam and quickly moved to her left a bit.

Beauty walked further to her left a couple more times, settled for maybe 45 minutes  and flew off heading west. I made a trip around and couldn’t find her so I left for a Brighton(BS) check.  I first spotted LarryO pull in to BS he went left and I went right in the road around the building. I found BST on the east extension on a window ledge facing south.

Larry had doubled back and caught up with me and as he pulled up BST flew off. I pointed to him for Larry to look and then BST landed on the south (back)side vent. Larry parked and we watched BST for a few minutes.

Larry had to go and I stayed watching BST about 20 minutes before he flew off going west.

I had to get going myself so I ended the watch.  It so makes me smile to start my day with falcons! 🙂
