A Weekend of Falcon Watching – 8/24 & 8/25/14
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Sorry to say that my computer has been giving me lots of trouble lately. I hope to catch up with some pics from last weekend which was the last time I saw a juvie, which I am pretty sure was Tesh. That being said, since it’s been a week since I’ve seen a juvie, I am now switching over from “Fledge Watch” to “Falcon Watch”. Fly free and far Tesh, Nettie, Mercury and Nor’Easter. We all hope to hear that you are doing well in the future. Miss you already.
My weekend watch was spent mostly watching and following Beauty, with a couple appearances by Dot.ca. She is quite active right now, spending most of her time visiting favorite spots around downtown Rochester. Much of her time is spent at the Frontier Communication Tower (FCT). Yesterday, she moved around quite a bit, with only one sighting of Dot.ca at the end of the day. I did see him on the north side of OCSR today before I ended my watch at 12:30 pm.
The weather was gorgeous. We’re finally getting some warm temperatures, blue sky and sunshine! Watchers I saw in my travels this weekend were, Kathy O, Dana, Larry O, Dan, Lou, Joyce, Brian H, and Lisa McK. You can bet that the Rochester Falcon Watchers will continue to keep an eye on things and report what they see.
OK, now for some pictures from my weekend watches. Enjoy everyone and goodnight!

Many thanks to Pat for letting me know this beautiful falcon art was in the subway bed below the Broad St Bridge.
This report is for my dad. He would have been 83 years old today. Miss you dad. Thanks for sharing with me your love of all living things, great and small. <3

Thanks Alison. It was a very tough day yesterday.

You’re welcome, Carol. I’m glad you enjoyed the falcon art. The first birthday after the loss of a loved one is definitely tough. It will get better, but it takes time.

Carol, Thank you for your report, photos and some new highlights of Rochester. It’s always great to see Beauty and Dot.ca. Looks like Autumn is on its way. The artwork is beautiful! Having lost my Dad in 2013, I can truly empathize, and sympathize with how hard the day was for you. I agree with Pat’s comment about birthdays…and also Father’s Day :^(
I’m glad you dedicated this report to your Dad.
