Falcon Watch and a Visit from Carol C from Florida! – 6/9/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Sunday – June 9, 2013
Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day and we were expecting a visit from on-line falcon watchers Carol C and Lorraine from Florida. I had sent and email out to all the watchers that we had a guest and many turned out to meet Carol.

We took Carol on a t0ur of the area and both Beauty and Dot.ca came out to greet her!

Too soon, Carol had to leave (we do love visitors!) and as she was getting into her car, Beauty flew overhead as if to say goodbye to one of her many fans!

It was so nice meeting you Carol and Lorraine! Hope you come back to visit again soon! 🙂
After they left, all the Watchers headed home except for Dana and I. We decided to head over to the BS location to find Pigott. When we pulled up to the front of the building (north side) we found her sitting on a ledge close to the center of the building.

Pigott flew around to the west side of the building. We found her on the south side of the west extension. We noticed that some of her feathers appeared to be torn on her tail and left wing. At first I thought she was molting. When I got home, I checked out my pictures. I got in touch with Dana and asked her to check her pictures and let me know what she thought. We both decided to send some pictures to Jenny at the DEC, including the Watchers who frequently checked out this location. Jenny did contact me today and said she will be sending the pictures to their vet. This is the same process we followed when Beauty had injured her foot last year.
While we were there, we saw Pigott fly around the building quite a few times. She is quite active. When we left her, she had settled on the north west corner of the building, watching over her territory and preening.
