Another warm, muggy start to the day with a temperature of 72 (F) 22 (C) and a busy breeze.

I found Beauty on cam 4 as  I arrived at 5:20am on Bank Place, the one way street that leads down to the hole (Aqueduct St.) off Exchange Blvd.

I went over to Exchange Blvd. in front of the Blue Cross Arena for a better view of the Beautyful one and the deck area of the nest box.

Dot.Ca (DC) wasn’t around yet but I could see one of the eyases up on the front ledge of the nest box as Beauty stretched out her wings.

At 5:50am Beauty switched perches and went over to the main cam which I believe was because one of the eyases was over there under it. At one point she tried bringing up a pellet as she preened and watched the kids while up there.

At 6:22am Beauty stooped after something over in the hole and came up by the Thomson Reuters building without success. She returned to the main cam as baby had a front seat to watch mom.

Beauty would remain on the main cam overlooking her offspring so I decided to take a ride over to Brighton around 6:50am to see if Pigott was home. Right after I left LarryO tweeted that he was watching Beauty and 2 eyases. Pigott was not around and neither was the vulture from yesterday. Just before 7:30am cam watcher Annette tweeted that the little darlings were being fed and Larry tweeted that DC had brought in food. I left for downtown after that and when I arrived I found Beauty on cam 1 (pan cam) and DC under the northeast wing.

I checked out both sides of the Broad St. Bridge  to see what kind of activity was going on since the water level is way down and inviting to shore birds now. On the south side there were Canadian Geese and ducks over by the Rundell Library falls and on the north side mallard ducks. Of course it goes without saying that gulls were present on both sides.

All was good in the falcon world as Beauty and DC watched over their family on the Times Square building. So I happily ended my watch at 8:05am with a smile! 🙂
