Morning watch 5-4-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
I’m lovin’ the weather here lately-today it was 56 (F) 13 (C) when I left for my watch at 5:30am.
I would wait in the hole (Aqueduct St.) for nearly an hour before seeing a falcon. At 6:25am Dot.Ca (DC) flew into the nest box and Beauty flew to the base of Mercury squawking. She would soon start eating-now I didn’t see anything in her talons as she passed over from the nest box at the Times Square building (TSB) but I was told by Donna that DC had brought food.
At 6:50am Beauty slipped off the base of Mercury flew around Mercury and back to the base. She quickly flew off again and went to the TSB landing at the northeast wing.
The Beautyful one showed her big yellow feet quite a bit while she was up there and at 7am she flew down to the nest box. DC came shooting out and flew to the Mercury money bag (MMB).
DC preened a bit and then flew off after something down in the river and re-surfaced to fly to the northeast wing.
DC also showed a lot of big yellow feet-his had breakfast on them. Half hour later DC flew back to the MMB. I left to check the Brighton site (BS) arriving there a little after 8am. I drove around the building 3 times and didn’t see or hear a falcon. I had to be somewhere so I ended my watch at that time. Beauty and DC really made me smile today. 🙂
