Morning watch 5-19-14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was 45 (F) 7 (C) with mostly cloudy skies to start my watch this morning
I’m happy to report that before I left home I checked the livestream to find out the 4th egg hatched during the night and Beauty has her first full clutch! An added bonus was when a Seneca Towers falcon flew by my window as I headed out the door. When I arrived on the Broad St. Bridge I could see Dot.Ca (DC) on the base of Mercury. I drove down to the hole and as I stopped the car he flew to the deck with a food delivery at 6:33am.
Beauty came right out, grabbed the goods and went into the nest box to feed their 4 eyasses. I missed where DC flew off to and set out to find him.
I wouldn’t find DC until around 7:30am when I spotted him on the Wilder green strip from the hole. I parked on Exchange Blvd. in front of the Philipone building since that was the best angle on the front of him
DC gave a yawn and then started napping
DC seemed quite sleepy and I thought he better catch sleep when he can because he’s going to be very busy for the next couple months feeding and teaching his kids about being a Peregrine Falcon. He was being very cute tipping his head to and fro.
And then it was time for more sleep
DC preened a little bit and for a parting shot he pooped then went back to sleep
That’s all she wrote, I ended my watch at 8:15am as DC was sleeping and I had stuff to do. No matter how short a time I spend with our Rochester Peregrine Falcons I drive away smiling! 🙂
