Well, we have warmer temps today 28 (F) 2 (C)  with overcast skies and snowing while I was on watch

Once again I found Beauty on Bausch & Lomb (B&L) eating to begin my watch at 7:05am. The past couple days she was on the northeast corner of the east side-today it was the northeast corner of the north side of B&L. She was in on the roof a bit, kinda out of view until she finished and came out to feak (wipe off her beak) on the edge. I watched her from Broad St. across from Midtown.

After Beauty finished her meal she got cleaned up, pooped and flew off to the north. I took a ride around downtown but didn’t find her as the few flakes of snow that were flying invited their buddies making it too hard to see the tops of buildings. I left to check the Brighton site (BS) hoping I could see well enough to find a falcon there. I was successful in finding both Dot.Ca (DC) and Pigott tho it was snowing and blowing pretty good at BS around 8am. He was in the front (north side) 2 windows down on the northwest extension-she was on the west side on a top floor window kiddie corner from the cubby.

During the time I was at the BS location Miss Pigott had her back to the world trying to ignore the weather but she did turn her head so I could see her. The snow let up long enough at one point so that I could positively ID this pair thankfully.

I left them on their windows to return to our fair city where it was snowing pretty good. I could barely see Beauty in the elevator shaft of OCSR on the south side ledge.

Even thru the snow she’s Beautyful with her salmon color chest! She obviously was going to wait out the weather so I ended my watch at 9am with a smile after having seen all 3 resident Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
