Falcon Watch – 5/18/09 – (12:30 – 3:00pm)
Dan S joined me for today’s Watch. Archer was on top of Midtown on the SE corner when I first arrived.
At 12:40 pm, Archer flew down to the nest ledge and Beauty came out, Archer taking her place on the supposed eggs. Beauty flew over to the fire escape on the Columbus Bldg. She remained there until 1:30 pm, when she flew back to sit on the nest ledge, preening. She is a dark beauty. 🙂
For the next 45 minutes, Beauty remained on the ledge, while Archer continued to incubate the eggs.
At 2:15 pm, Archer and Beauty switched places and Archer flew out to the fire escape on the Columbus Bldg. When Archer left Midtown, he actually went into a stoop on the neighborhood pigeons on the lower buildings east of Midtown. He was not successful in catching any of them, but he sure did wake them up. LOL
I left a little past 3:00 pm.
