Morning watch 8-5-11
By Rochester falcon watcher MAK
I thought I’d combine my watches from yesterday and today. I haven’t seen too much action nor have I seen Archer but I have spent a little time with the Beautyful one. Yesterday after making my rounds looking for our fine feathered friends I parked on the Broad St. bridge. As I was watching the nestbox suddenly a falcon flew up and landed next to the main camera. I found out later that it was Beauty and she left soon after flying to the OCSR building. She preened and occasionally looked to the north I assume in anticipation of Archers’ arrival for their morning bonding ritual.
She stayed there for the remainder of my watch.
This morning after checking around town I parked on the Broad St. bridge waiting and watching for a falcon to show up with no success. My time was getting short so I decided to drive over to city hall and have a close look at the Frontier Communications tower. It turned out to be a good call for I found Beauty under the platform on the northeast side. The next 2 pics were taken from Fitzhugh St. in front of the sister cities parking garage.
I then drove over to the city hall parking lot and spent the rest of my watch with Beauty until I had to leave for home.
TGIF for tomorrow and Sunday IĀ can stay out longer and hopefully have some more action to report. Have a great day everyone! š
