Monday Falcon Watch – 1/6/14 – The Temperatures are Plummeting!

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

At 5:00 am it was 50 degrees.  As I type this report, it is 5 degrees (F) and feels like 19 below zero with blowing snow.  That’s a big BRRRRR!

Sunrise at 7:41 am.  Sunset at 4:49 pm.

I knew I didn’t have a whole lot of time, so I first checked Kodak Park.  No falcons there.

At the BS location I found Pigott on the east end of the building on a window below the tree ledge.

She was there by herself and she was settled in an area where the wind was blocked.  So, I headed downtown and searched the downtown area twice.  It was snowing hard when I arrived and visibility was poor.  When I looked up into the OCSR elevator shaft, I could not tell if Beauty and Dot.ca were up there or not.  They could have been, I just couldn’t be sure.  This is what I saw.

I went over to the Kodak Office Tower to see if they might be there, but had no luck finding any falcons there.

By 5:00 pm, it was getting dark.  The winds were blowing the snow around and the temperatures were plunging.  I called it a watch.

Here are a few more wintry pictures I took while on my watch today.  Goodnight everyone!

    Beautiful.
    Indianapolis is in the second (third counting Sunday) day of shut-down, but tomorrow it will start to thaw. Please take care of yourselves, fearless falcon watchers!
