A Falcon Watch Catch-up! 2/3, 2/4 & 2/5/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
This report will be more pictures than words. I just wanted to let you all know that For the last three days, I have seen all three current Rochester Falcons; Beauty, Pigott and BST daily. They are out and about, hunting, eating, sleeping, yawning, pooping, Pigott & BST are ee-chupping to each other and kakking & chasing Hawks out of their territory. All three are being Peregrine Falcons, doing their many Pefa activities. lol
Here are some pictures from Sunday, Monday and today.
Pics from Sunday – 2/3/13

Zoomed way in on our little tree sitter. He sure does love to sit in trees. 🙂

I do love that he and Pigott use the wooded area behind the BS location and hunt there.

I did see that the elevator in the OCSR elevator shaft was down a little bit yesterday. I went over for a closer look. There is quite a bit of space on each side of the elevator. The ledges that she uses are clear. She may choose to find another spot to roost, which she has done in the past many times. We used to see her on top of the Xerox Tower most evenings. She’ll be just fine.

I was very happy to see MAK and Lynda while I was at the BS location tonight. Lynda doesn’t get a chance to get here very often so she was ecstatic to see Beauty, Piggot and BST. Yay Lynda!!! 🙂
So all three current Rochester Falcons were seen Sunday, Monday & Tuesday and everything was peaceful while I was watching them. The Watchers will continue to keep an eye on what happens and report what we see. January is gone and here it is February. Time is flying just like a Peregrine! Fast!

Carol, I must admit, your pic of BST in that tree, face on, is fabulous! First time I really have a good look at his face. What an adorable, handsome, cute tiercel he is! Thank you!! :))) Hate to see him leave, if he must!

Thanks Gals! This dark capped tiercel reminds me of another dark capped tiercel. 🙂

Geez, so there were a few calls and then the management got all huffy. If they had let the DEC up there to see what was to be seen, then there would have been no more calls, or if so, they could have been referred to the DEC. Now, instead Crossroads has an unhelpful reputation. I would have thought that they would have been glad to have the DEC take over, but instead they seem to be reluctant to have any “truth” revealed.
