Not a cloud in the sky and a starting temperature of 16 (F)  -9 (C)  this morning as I headed downtown

I was very happy to see Beauty on the Mercury money bag (MMB) as I arrived at 7:15am. I pulled over on Broad St. next to the Blue Cross Arena to hang out with her.

The Beautyful one did some stretching exercises to start her day followed by a lot of looking around for breakfast.

She flew off at 7:34am straight over to the Times Square building (TSB) and came to rest under the northeast wing.

For the best view I parked on Exchange Blvd. in front of the Blue Cross Arena. I didn’t stay long because I was anxious to find Dot.Ca (DC) since he wasn’t seen yesterday and we had that mystery falcon hanging around.

Enroute to the Brighton site after not finding DC downtown I just had to click off a couple pics of the sun shining thru some trees on South Ave.

I reached BS at 8:15am finding Pigott on the northeast corner of the east extension-there was no good place to observe her due to the way she was situated but I did get a couple pics when she turned her head my way.

I didn’t stay very long with Miss Pigott since DC wasn’t at BS either. Returning to downtown around 9:10am as is my usual routine, I stop on Exchange Blvd. near Plymouth Ave. to check out the jail tower, TSB, Mercury, Crossroads and OCSR. I could see a falcon under the southeast wing of TSB and got excited thinking it was DC.

I went to the hole (Aqueduct St.) and was pleasantly surprised to find two falcons-Beauty under the southeast wing and DC under the northeast wing of TSB. She had her back facing out but he was front and center.

DC left about 10 minutes later when I wasn’t looking and I had to fly myself, but I left with a big smile on my face for having seen all 3 resident Rochester Peregrine Falcons!  🙂
