Friday, Saturday & Sunday Fledge Watch Report – Lots and Lots of Flying by Our Three Juvies! – 7/26,27 & 28/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Here I am in catch-up mode again! It was a wonderful weekend of Falcon Watching for me and all the other Watchers. Baron, Rosetta & Voyager are doing great. We watched all three flying over HSBC, Xerox, Chase Tower and Midtown. Talon tagging and knocking each other off the buildings. Baron may have more maneuverability than his sisters, but they are holding their own against his swiftness. I had to laugh yesterday, when Baron continually attempted to knock his sister off the Chase Tower when she landed on top to take a rest. He gave up and landed on the next column over from his sister. Then it was her turn. She took off and relentlessly attempted to knock Baron off! Then they were both in the air again! They are amazing to watch. Wish you could all be here.
They are also starting to chase other birds, Crows, Gulls, Pigeons, Starlings. I believe it’s only a matter of time before we see a successful hunt by one of them.
Let’s see if I can remember the names of all the Watchers that came downtown this weekend during my Watches. Kathy O, Dana, Joyce, Lisa McK, Dan S, Larry O, Lou, Jeanne, Debbie H, Joe B (aka Viper1234) and his family. Hope I didn’t forget anyone. Also, a big thanks to our on-line Watchers who let us know what’s happening on camera. Thanks Ei and Donna!
Here are some pictures from the weekend that I took. To see any of them larger, just click on the picture. If you hover your cursor over the picture, it will give you a description of what the picture is. Hope you all enjoy this pictorial report of my weekend watches. Enjoy!
