Morning watch 6-18-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
This mornings weather was mostly cloudy with the same temperature as yesterday 59 (F) 15 (C) and a busy breeze!
Beauty was on the southeast column of the Times Square building (TSB)one level higher than nest box when I arrived in the hole at 5:20am
DC was not anywhere that I could see him. At 5:50am Beauty flew down to the nest box and a minute or so later flew out around Mercury and back to land on top of the main cam.
Beauty flew off about 10 minutes later going behind the Philipone building where I couldn’t see her. I then found Dot.Ca (DC) on the OCSR building south corner top ibeam.
According to cam watcher Campgee DC brought food to nest box where upon Beauty took it and fed eyases. I was driving up to the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) to see if I could find where Beauty had gone so I missed the food exchange. Thanks Camp! Around 6:25am Beauty flew to the west corner of OCSR top ibeam with DC at the south corner. They could see each other.
Camp reported that Beauty had finished up feeding the kids and had left the building. I missed her leaving because I was watching DC and I don’t have eyes in the back of my head! lol Thanks once again Camp for being those eyes! DC left OCSR and flew to the main cam.
At this point I left to check on Pigott at the Brighton site (BS). She was on the northwest corner of the northwest extension when I arrived at 7:10am and quickly flew off to the back (south side) of the building where I found her on the southwest corner of the southwest extension.
5 minutes later Miss Pigott flew to the southeast corner of the east extension and she was flying very well I might add.
She seemed quite restless this morning-maybe hunger was driving her from one spot to the other as she was definitely looking for prey. Pigott stayed for the next half hour and then took off and landed on the southwest corner of the southwest extension.
15 minutes later Pigott was off again flying to the southeast corner of the southeast extension where sahe hung out for 19 minutes before flying south out of view.
I waited about 10 minutes and headed back downtown where I found DC on the main cam and Beauty on the south corner top ibeam of OCSR.
This is where I left them thus ending my watch at 8:30am. Now I’m off to watch Beauty and DC as their eyases will be banded in about an hour and that my friends is making me smile! 🙂
