By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

Good day everyone! It was a brief watch this morning so my report will be brief as well. When I arrived on the Broad St. bridge this morning at 6:30am there were no falcons around so I took a quick tour of downtown. Upon returning I found both Mr. T and Beauty on the base of Mercury. Beauty was on the northeast ledge just below him.

Both falcons took off fast to the south stooping on pigeons. Criss crossing each other and flying over my head a couple of times up and down the area of the Blue Cross Arena over the mighty Genesee river. It’s short but I managed to get a video and the quality is poor cuz it was dark and raining. Here’s the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRB10viaAyU

Beauty flew back to the base of Mercury and as I found out from a report from Donna Mr. T went up to the nestbox for about 3 minutes. He was out of my line of vision at the time. Soon after, Beauty stooped behind the Thomson Reuters building and I didn’t see her after that. I ended my watch after unsuccessfully locating either falcon in the next 45 minutes.

I will be leaving soon to go to Buffalo with Joyce and Brian on a watch. We will be meeting CarolP,KathyO,Dana and Lisa McK at Central Terminal. Have a great day everyone!  🙂
