When I arrived downtown this morning, it was already starting to get warm.  Today’s temperature was expected to hit the mid 80’s (F).  Dana reported that both Beauty and Dot.ca were on the OCSR when she ended her watch.  That’s exactly where they were when I arrived.  Dot.ca was up inside the elevator shaft on the south ledge and Beauty was on the south side top Ibeam, tucked in close to the elevator shaft.  Both were in the shade.  I parked close to the Radisson Hotel, also in the shade, where I could see both of them.

I noticed when I was driving through the downtown area, there was music filling the air.  The Drum and Bugle Corps World Championship was in town and they were practicing.  A drum section of one of the corps was practicing next to the Radisson.  They were REALLY good and Dot.ca, Beauty and I were enjoying the entertainment.

By noon, it was really getting warm, so I ended my watch.  All was quiet downtown, well except for the sounds of the drums and bugles that filled the air.  🙂

Over the last few days, I’ve started seeing a Peregrine Falcon hanging out on the stacks at the west end of Kodak Park (KPW).  This is the area that Unity claimed as her territory before moving downtown.  It’s an adult, but I haven’t been able to get a good enough look at it to tell if it’s a male or female.  I work close by, so I’ll definitely keep an eye on the area.  Here are a few pics I took of the KP Falcon.

Goodnight everyone!
