Freezing and frigid-those are the f words that describe this morning! 5 degrees (F) -15 (C) with a slight breeze making the wind chill below O. Overcast with snow falling-sigh…

2 trips to the east side to start my watch bagged me a falcon named Beauty at 7am. She switched it up on me and  was eating on the south side of Bausch & Lomb on the southeast corner. Her usual spots lately have been the east and north sides. Hey, variety is the spice of life right!?

Once again I apologize for the poor quality photos-my camera has had enough of the cold temperatures and does not like to focus in them. Beauty finished eating cleaned up a bit, waved good bye and took off flying northwest toward OCSR.

Off I went to my spot at the Radisson Hotel by Main St. where I can see up in the elevator shaft of OCSR-there she was, Beauty had gone directly to the north ledge instead of  the ibeam first, which is her usual routine. You can’t really see her in my pic but she was there.

I left for the Brighton site (BS) and when I arrived about 7:30am there were no falcons at home. I went for coffee and when I returned 10 minutes later I found Dot.Ca (DC) on the south side vent west end. He was scrunched down in what I call the buddha style and he had his feathers all foofed up to stay warm.

I watched him turning his head every which way and then he seemed to see something that he keyed in on.

I thought perhaps it was Pigott so I pulled out to take a ride around the building and as I got on the east side I spotted Pigott on an east facing top floor window ledge on the southeast extension-she had her back to me.

I just noticed that I failed to  tweet out that I saw Miss Pigott at BS-sorry, I have a lot on my mind. (rolls eyes) So I made one more check downtown before ending my watch. Just as I was pulling over at the Radisson hotel the Beautyful one came flying out from the OCSR elevator shaft. She made a few flights in front of the southeast side of OCSR and returned to the north ledge of the elevator shaft.

I promptly ended my watch at 8:55am after seeing all 3 Rochester Peregrine Falcons safe and sound and in case you’re wondering-I was smiling! 🙂
