Morning watch 2-22-14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
As I started my watch this morning it was a little breezy and mostly cloudy with a temperature of 37 (F) 3 (C). The sun rose and burst thru as the wind picked up and moved the clouds along at a pretty fast pace

Today my watch started out at 7:05am on the Broad St. Bridge (BSB) where I spotted Beauty near the nest box and Dot.Ca (DC) under the northeast wing of the Times Square building (TSB).

I drove down to the hole next to the Wilder building to watch them but just as I arrived I heard DC start chirping and then he flew off to the north. He came back thru flying over the nest box area before flying southwest out of view. I missed him joining Beauty at the nest box for a quick bowing session as reported by cam watcher and good friend Donna. After DC left Beauty flew over to cam 1.
Around 7:20am the Beautyful one flew southwest and when I next found her she was on the east side of Bausch & Lomb (B&L) on the northeast corner.
10 minutes later she crouched down as she does when DC is approaching and flew off with him. They circled B&L a few times and then returned to the TSB.
I was parked on Broad St. across from Midtown and could see DC under the northeast wing of TSB and Beauty was on the main cam. I went back to the hole to be closer to our downtown pair.
They both did some serious preening as every once in a while Beauty would softly whine-I think she was trying to entice him to come to the nest box. I moved to in front of the Blue Cross Arena on Exchange Blvd. for a side view. Couldn’t see DC tho because of the way he was situated.
I waited until about 8:30am and then headed over to the Brighton location-enroute I got a tweet from Larry saying Pigott was on the southeast extension. When I arrived she was still there on an east facing window below the tree that grows on the roof showing her back. Larry and Harold were taking a walk out in the woods and then they joined me.
Larry and Harold left after a brief stay and Pigott turned around to do some stretching before showing me her back again.
I left her to it and went back downtown arriving about 9:05am to find Beauty peeking out from in front of the nest box and DC still under the northeast wing preening.

It was time to get going so I ended my watch at 9:15am after seeing all 3 Rochester Peregrine Falcons which as you know makes me smile! 🙂
