Rochester Falcon Watcher:  Carol P.

My watch started out this morning with a Falcon sighting north of Kodak Park.  This was Lady Pefa’s territory, so I hoped it was her I had seen her hunting.  Then I headed downtown and watched Beauty and Mr T (the visiting Tiercel) on the old Changing Scenes Restaurant.  After about an hour and 1/2, they hadn’t moved, so I headed down to Lake Ontario where we’ve been keeping an eye on a female Peregrine that has been seen there and at Irondequoit Bay.  We assume it is the same bird.  When I first arrived, there were thousands of gulls in the air above the almost totally frozen Genesee River where it empties into Lake Ontario.  I quickly parked my car and grabbed my binoculars.  What I witnessed for the next 15 minutes or so was pretty intense.  You can see pictures and read my report here:

Hope this works.  No sign on needed.
