Happy May day everyone!

This morning when I arrived downtown I was met by lots of traffic,police and a blocked off Broad St. bridge. There was a marathon going on with the start and finish lines on the Broad St. bridge

It was half hour into my watch before I made it over to the Andrews St. bridge to get a vantage point. I raised my binoculars just in time to see Beauty flying over the river between the OCSR building and the Rochester Convention Center. Suddenly she went into a stoop scattering  pigeons everywhere! Seconds later she was out of sight flying behind the Convention Center. Another half hour passed before I saw her again on the money bag hand of Mercury.

Beauty flew off while I wasn’t looking and according to Donna she went to the nestbox and relieved Archer from egg sitting duties. I never saw him and decided to end my watch. 🙂
