Falcon Watch Evening – 6/1/11 – The Winds, They Were a Blow’n
From Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Usually the Falcons can’t resist high winds, but there wasn’t much flying while we were there. It was warm and very windy. Watchers Kathy O, MAK, Dana, Dan and Carol P, gathered at the Kodak Park parking lot. I arrived at about 6:30 pm. We set-up our chairs on the lawn and looked for our Peregrines.
We started with none and then Unity flew in from the east, landing on the tall still.
After awhile, at 7:30 pm, Archer zoomed in and directly into the scrape. Unity landed on the I-beam in front of it.
There wasn’t too much flying and when I left at 8:40 pm, Archer and Unity had settled down to some serious preening and stretching and scratching side-by-side on two different stills. Larry O tweeted me that he had Beauty at the Times Square Nest Box.
A beautiful evening for a Falcon Watch, good company and all three Rochester Falcons accounted for. That’s the best!
