Well, looks like winter is finally coming to Rochester, NY and it’s looking more likely that we’ll be getting a white Christmas!  🙂

Today’s Tweets:

4:20 pm – Carol P – “DT. Finally found B. She is already tucked into the OCSR elevator shaft. South ledge. Brrr!”

4:40 pm – Carol P – “BS. So far one falcon on the NW corner.”

5:00 pm – Carol P – “BS. Getting dark but it looks like P on the NW corner. Just saw BST zip around the bldg but I cant find him. Starting to rain.”

**************************************************

My falcon watch started downtown at a little before 4 pm.  I drove all over the downtown area looking for Beauty, finally finding her already settled up in the OCSR elevator shaft on the south ledge.  There is a lot of white wash below those ledges showing that she’s been there quite a bit.

She seemed settled, so I headed over to the BS location where I found BST, who I thought might be Pigott at first, up on the NW corner.  I drove around the building, but had no luck finding Pigott.  So back to BST I went.  At 5:00 pm, Pigott flew in and zipped around to the front of the building.  A few moments later, BST followed.  I drove over to the NE end of the building to check their nighttime roost.  Pigott was there on the 3rd window down, but I could not find BST (the BS location Tiercel).  It was starting to rain and it was getting dark, so I called it a night.

On the way home, I cut through the city which was lit up beautifully.  I’ll leave you with some pictures I took before heading home.  As always, all you have to do is click on a picture to see a larger version.  Thanks!
