My watch started at Seneca Towers with both Billie and 99. One of them was on the west side railing and the other on the northwest corner.
They flew off soon after and gave me a show as they circled around the building several times. I think they were playing as they would take turns attempting to land on different spots on the roof structures and at the last second pull up and continue flying. I took no flight shots as I was enjoying just watching their antics-these 2 certainly like to stick together, whether in the air or perched.Β I did catch one of them approaching and landing on a pipe near the northwest corner and the other PEFA came in after coming to rest on the railing.
At around 7:45am both Billie and 99 flew to the south as you’ll see in one of my videos and didn’t return. So off I went to find our downtown pair. From Woodbury Blvd. I saw who I thought was Beauty on the same southwest corner of Bausch & Lomb (B&L) as yesterday. I drove over to Court St. across from the parking garage where I was closer to find that it was Dot.Ca (DC) and Beauty was behind him on the roof of the southwest elevator with food.
I knew it was just a matter of time before DC moved in on that food and sure enough 5 minutes later he flew over, landing on the corner. DC turned around, snuck in under Beauty and grabbed a chunk of the tasty treat. They were both eating and as I tweeted what was going on they left.
I headed over to the Broad St. Bridge and found Beauty on the base of Mercury with food. I’m not sure if she took the food she had from B&L since I didn’t see her leave B&L. Less than 5 minutes later DC showed up on the Mercury money bag above her. Larry and Harold stopped by for a few minutes around this time. He kept looking down at her-she must have sensed his eyes on her for when she finished eating her fill she jumped up to the green part of the base and cached the rest.
At 8:18am the Beautyful one flew off after giving me a look as if to say keep an eye on my food MAK.
DC immediately looked down at the goods, thought about it a couple minutes then hopped off the money bag and flew down to the base. He stopped and had a look around before turning his attention to the cached food.
After looking in all directions DC started eating and the rest as they say, is history. Larry had to leave and so did I-DC was all bug eyed as I departed.
Of course I ended my watch at 8:30am smiling-how could I not smile after watching DC and his comical ways! π
