Morning watch 7-1-13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was a dark morning due to cloud cover with rain in the forecast. The starting temperature was 66 (F) 19 (C) with a breeze.
As I arrived in the hole at 5:22am I could see a couple kids up on deck and for the first time in quite a while I spotted Dot.Ca (DC) before Beauty-he was on the south corner top ibeam of OCSR.
Baron was already running on the well wall and flapping his wings when he got to the very end. I thought since it was a little breezy out that he might get a boost and take wing but I don’t think he’s quite ready yet. At 5;37am I noticed Beauty on the deck feeding someone. I got a tweet a minute later from Campgee confirmimg it. Thanks!

At 5:47am Beauty flew north and DC flew to the ledge under the southeast wing.
A few minutes later I spotted Beauty appear from behind Widows Walk and fly over to the Times Square Building (TSB) circling it twice before vanishing behind it. Baron was out on the well wall doing his thing.
I left at this time to look for Pigott at the Brighton site but once again I was too late-she was already gone. So I returned to downtown about 6:44am and joined LarryO on the Broad St. Bridge (BSB). We could see all 3 eyases but no adults.

About 10 minutes later Beauty flew to the deck with food but none of the kids rushed her so we thought they weren’t interested. Larry brought up the livestream on his phone and we could hear them squawking up a storm so we knew then that they most certainly were interested. Beauty started feeding and Baron made his way off the well wall to join them.

A few minutes later I noticed DC on the top ibeam south corner of OCSR. And when she was done feeding her kids the Beautyful one went to cam 1 to perch.
<Beauty is there but you must click it to see her lol
At 7:12 am DC flew off OCSR and made his way up to the southwest wing ring-a place I haven’t seen him in a very long time. He’s the only PEFA I’ve ever seen on one of those. He switched to the northeast wing ring a minute later.
He stayed up there for 10 minutes looking down at Baron I believe who was on the well wall flapping on and off. Larry left at this time. I saw a couple workers on the scaffolding on the Thomson Reuters roof. Surprisingly enough neither adult went rushing over to antagonize them. Lucky for them! I went down to the hole by He’s Chinese at 7:35am to watch Baron on the well wall and Beauty on cam 1 who was also keeping an eye on our bold young tiercel.
DebbieH stopped by on her way to work and was getting a big kick out of Baron. She left after a few minutes and I called it a watch a little after 8am. I must say Mr. Baron is making me smile a lot with his running abilities-he really motors down that well wall! 🙂
