Morning/afternoon watch 1-15-11
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
I arrived downtown a little before 7:00am today. I had no luck finding any falcons in the usual spots so I went over to State St. and Kodak Office. I guess this now has to be listed as one of the usual spots for I found Beauty on the northeast corner of the 16th floor on the Kodak Office tower. For nearly 2 hrs. I watched her do nothing until she decided to fly over to the north side of the building same ledge closer to the west end. I found an alley called Frankfort St. for the best view I could get. She seemed to have found cached food there and after eating she flew off heading north right straight at me. As she passed overhead I lost her in the snow and when I turned back around a smaller falcon took almost the same route. I left at that point to pick up Brian and Meet Joyce over at the Brighton location. That pefa was gone by the time we got there. When I got to Kodak Office both Beauty and her male companion were there. Beauty left for a bit and came back with a pigeon which she ate while he watched.(same as yesterday) I ended my watch after 8 falcon filled hours with Beauty on the left side of the arch on the north side of Kodak Office. She was alone. 🙂

MAK, you and CarolP have your hands (and eyes) full with our moving falcons. I need a score care right about now. So Beauty and friend are loving Kodak tower, and there may be a single Lady Pefa somewhere around Kodak Park, and there may be another pair hanging around the Psych Center in Brighton? Perhaps another male and female at PC? Am I keeping it straight right now?
Are you and Carol seeing the bands or just judging by size?
