My watch started with a temperature of 63 degrees (F) 17 (C) and overcast skies

As I checked the north side of HSBC  at 7am I got an instant feeling of deja vu as Beauty and Dot.Ca (DC) were up there and she had food while he was begging from a few feet away just like Monday morning. I parked on Chestnut St. just south of the Hotel Cadillac to watch the festivities. DC walked over to her and  unlike Monday he got a chunk and started eating.

They ate together back to back but keeping an eye on each other and I heard eechupping a couple different times. So instead of the normal Peregrine way of bowing and eechupping in the nest box these two do it over a meal. When DC finished his tiny morsel and started begging for more Beauty flew off with her leftovers and he went right along with her.

Beauty landed on the northeast corner and began eating again while DC landed on the northwest corner. Then he started running down the ledge toward Beauty. When he got a third of the way across he flew off and landed behind her on the east side and then jumped up on the ledge above her to really get in her face.

DC started whining again while Beauty finished off her meal and cleaned off her beak. DC went down on the ledge a few feet in front of Beauty as she had enough of him and flew off to the west. DC ran over to the corner to see if she left a crumb behind which she didn’t, and stood there for the next 10 minutes.

I left him there to see where the Beautyful one had gone. I stopped to take a pic of the front of Manhattan Square Park.

I found Beauty on the Frontier Communications Tower (FCT) perched on the northeast cube. I parked on Fitzhugh St. in front of the Sister Cities parking garage for the best view of her.

I stayed about 15 minutes and left to check our Brighton site-Pigott wasn’t home. I returned to downtown around 8:30am and from the Andrews St. Bridge I spotted Beauty still on her cube and DC right above her on the east side platform railing.

I left to check Hawkeye and Seneca Towers and had no luck finding a PEFA at either location so back to downtown I went. It took me a while but I finally located Beauty on the inside of the southeast cube from Church St. as I was parked in front of the Hochstein school of music.

Beauty preened and rested  as I shared space with her for about 10 minutes and then ended my watch around 9:30am. Once again our dynamic downtown duo entertained and kept me smiling! 🙂
