By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

I was able to get out this afternoon and saw all three Rochester Falcons.

Pigott & Dot.ca at the BS location.

Pigott was ee-chupping and Dot.ca was flying around.  She ended up taking off and flying to the cubby on the west side.  When I drove over to that side, it was quiet and I could not find either of them.  Well, at least I saw both together for a short time.

The first time I checked out the downtown area, I could find no falcons at all.  So it was time to go back and find a falcon.

After parking on the Broad St Bridge (BSB), I found a falcon up on the TSB on the SE wing ledge.  I am pretty sure it was Dot.ca.  Where was Beauty?  Fellow watcher Pat joined me for a few moments before heading home.

Dot.ca took off and soon returned.  This time he landed on the Mercury statue and finally Beauty made an appearance going to the nest box.

Dot.ca took off and flew around the TSB, before landing on the SE wing ledge. From there, he stooped down towards the river, past the OCSR, then back to the SE wing.  He took off again and repeated the same flight path, except this time, Beauty was hot on his tail.  I saw Dot.ca swoop up and over the top of the apartments on the corner of St. Paul and Andrews St.  While he made short stoops at something on top of the apartments, Beauty flew high above watching him.  I tried to keep an eye on them to see where they went, but someone at that moment stopped me and asked me if the birds were back.  I stopped watching B&DC and spoke with my visitor who was very interested in what was going on with the falcons.  After he left, I was not able to find either Beauty or Dot.ca.

Joyce joined me on the Broad St Bridge and Kathy O tweeted from the BS location that Pigott was there and that Dot.ca had been there for a short time and that he headed NW, which was towards the downtown area.  We never did see him return.  Kathy joined us.

For the next 1/2 hour, Beauty and Dot.ca did not return.  I had to leave, so I headed home, stopping at KP on the way home.  No falcons there.  While I was at KP, Kathy O tweeted that Beauty had returned to the nest box and Joyce tweeted that Pigott was at the BS location.

Later in the afternoon, Larry O reported both Beauty and Dot.ca at the Times Square Bldg.

So all three Rochester Falcons were seen today, which made it a very nice day!  Goodnight everyone!
