Eyes to the Skies

Morning watch 5-19-11

By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

This morning the sun was shining with blue skies. Archer was on the eggs when I left home for my watch. Beauty made me wait an hour before showing herself on the Times Square building under the northwest wing. I don’t recall ever seeing her under this wing.

Isn’t she a Beauty? ๐Ÿ™‚ After 10 minutes of preening and scoping out her territory she flew down to the ledge directly above the nestbox.

More preening for half hour then she flew over to the green strip on the Wilder buildingย  quickly flying offย  to the base of Mercury.

She was eating something up there and ironically as I looked down I saw a leftover in the parking lot. lol

Soon after finishing up her cached snack Beauty flew over to the nestbox where she and Archer switched. She went in and he came out landing on the base of Mercury looking at what she left behind up there.

Finding nothing that appealed to him Archer took off heading north which is the direction of Kodak Park and Unity. I had to head out myself. ๐Ÿ™‚

    If she is sitting on the northwest side, does she get a better view toward KP or KT?
    Was that a seagull? Looks awfully big and light colored! Wow those birds do not leave much uneaten do they?

    Margaret I’m sure she has a great view of KP and KT from that location.
    Luann lol I hope after their rumble at the Kodak tower Unity stays away in the future.
