Morning watch 1-14-11
By falcon watcher MAK
My watch started with Beauty up on her favorite column of the Xerox building 5th one on the south side. She left when I wasn’t paying attention. I searched quite awhile when suddenly while stopped at a traffic light a falcon appeared out of nowhere to go after some flying pigeons I was watching. It was an un successful stoop. The light changed and I had to move on so I lost track of it. After riding around parts of downtown I’ve never seen before with no sightings I decided to check out the Frontier Communications Tower. I parked on the street in front of the City Hall parking lot facing Kodak Office to the north. No need to look at the tower cuz before me I saw falcons on the arch of the Kodak Office Tower. I took off for State St. to get closer for pics. I ended up on Verona St. I got my pics and decided to go park on State St.for a different angle. While I was trying to get Beauty and her male friend lined up for more digiscoping they flew away and I missed what direction they went. I stayed for a bit to see if they might return. They didn’t and so I left for home ending my watch. I have only 1 pic good enough to post. Can’t wait for the sun to shine in the morning again! 🙂

Thank-you MAK. The days are getting longer and maybe you will have some of the unexpected sunshine we had here today.

Your welcome Alison. We’ve actually had sunshine here the last 2 afternoons for awhile. I can only recall sunshine in the early morning once in the last couple months!
