When I arrived downtown this morning Archer was on top of the fire escape ladder of the Wilder building.

He flew off less than a minute later vocalizing and I watched him go over to Widows Walk and land on the railing northwest end. I spotted Beauty on the base at the northeast end.

Make sure to click on the pics for a full larger image.  Archer flew off to the north and I thought perhaps he was leaving for Kodak Park.

He fooled me by rejoining Beauty on the Widows Walk about 30 minutes later. He probably went over to the FCT. Meanwhile Beauty was picking at a leftover wing. They had a few things to say to each other and he was off again fast into a stoop behind buildings and returning with a fresh meal for the Beautyful one.

Beauty plucked feathers out of it to prepare for consumption and proceeded to eat her breakfast. She would not let Archer near it as she does not usually like to share. Archer would fly up and circle her on a few occasions landing on different spots until he left for good. Beauty flew over to the Times Square building landing next to the main camera and then going into the nestbox.

I ended my watch at this point because  the Jehovahs witnesses were starting to filter in quite heavily and so I thought I would get while the gettin’ was good. Archer had left the area and Beauty was hunkered down in the nestbox. It was a fast 2 hour watch with plenty to see.  I will be going to Buffalo shortly with Joyce and Brian for a fledge watch. Have great day everyone! 🙂
