Morning watch 5-10-11
By Rochester falcon watcher MAK
What a difference a day makes! Yesterday Dan and I got skunked but today we were treated to some flying by the Beautyful one. About 45 minutes into our watch Archer came in with a small package for her at the nestbox. He went in to settle on the eggs and she grabbed it and flew over to the base of Mercury to eat.
Beauty made quick work of this meager morsel and flew over to the OCSR building landing the west corner second ibeam down. She as usual had her back to us looking northward.
She wasn’t there long before she flew off around the back of the building(northside) and went to the Granite building southwest corner.
She wasn’t there long as she grabbed cached food and headed over to the Bausch and Lomb building to eat a little of it.
It was 7:ooam and time for Dan to go. Right after he left Beauty flew to the Times Square building coming to rest under the southeast wing with her cached food. She spent the better part of the next hour stuffing it down her already full crop.
At this point I got out my window mount and set my camera up pointed right at Beauty and waited to try and get a take off shot. Just as a falcon watchers luck runs DebbieH came by distracting me at the very moment Beauty decided to go pay Archer a visit down in the nestbox and relieve him of his duties. I missed the whole thing! lol Oh well, there will be a next time. I assumed Archer went to Kodak to see Unity since I didn’t see him anywhere in the vicinity ending my watch. 🙂
