By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

Joyce picked Brian and I up this morning and we headed out for a fledge watch in Buffalo. We went to UB first and found BB on McKay tower and nobody else in sight. Next up was Central Terminal where we found watchers Sage,Roger,Michelle and Enrique. Stash and all the juvies were on the terminal but Stella was hiding somewhere that we couldn’t see her.

We saw some nice flying from the CT falcons today. The weather was warm,sunny and breezy. They flew on the wind currents very well. Since the Buffalo watchers had all left and things were quiet at CT we decided to go check out the Statler site. We went up to the 26th floor of the Rand building where Brian spotted a juvie on the Liberty building and we all saw an adult on the perch at the nest site.

From the Statler building in downtown Buffalo we went to the grain elevator on the shore of Lake Erie. We sat there for a while enjoying the beach front. We didn’t see any falcons at this site so we went back to Central Terminal to enjoy some more fine falcon flying! We do believe we saw the whole family of 6 at one time or another.

After a while they seemed to hunker down so we said goodbye and thanked them for their time. Our last stop would be the University of Buffalo. We were treated to some fine feathered flying here as well. Joyce spotted the first 2 juvies and they went flying off out of sight eventually. Then we saw a couple juvies on Hayes Hall. With more flying by 2 other juvies and landing on the medical building on campus. Before we left for the evening we got to see a flying show with 3 juvies  and an adult ( if I remember correctly ) above and around McKay tower. It was a fabulous falcon fledge watch for sure! 🙂
