Hello Peregrine Falcon lovers everywhere! I guess 6:15am isn’t early enough to start my watch anymore because when I arrived on the Broad St. bridge today Beauty was already eating her breakfast. I spotted her up on the northwest corner of the Bausch and Lomb building and it was still dark out. So dark in fact that at first I didn’t notice Mr. T was to the right of her about 2 feet away watching her dine. There was a dark part of the building in the background which made him blend in well.

After 10 minutes or so Beauty flew to the northeast corner with the prey and Mr. T followed right behind her. I drove around trying to find a better angle but was unsuccessful. In the next pic you can see part of Beauty but not any of Mr. T who is further in on the building out of view.

Beauty finished eating and flew back to the northwest corner while Mr. T remained on the northeast side eating the leftovers. She had a very full crop!

After cleaning herself up a bit after her breakfast she flew off to the northwest over the river and disappeared behind the Old Changing Scenes Restaurant. Since I didn’t see her come back into view I figured she probably landed on the other side of that building. I left Mr. T and drove to the Andrews St bridge for a view of the north side of OCSR. Sure enough she was on the top ibeam of the northwest side smack dab in the middle.

I stayed there until I had to leave without seeing Mr. T again. I thought he might join Beauty there. Sorry my pics are of bad quality today as it was a very dark morning. Have a great day everyone! 🙂
