Tuesday Afternoon Falcon Watch – 10/14/14

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

4:00 -5:00 pm.

I arrived downtown a little before 4:00 pm and found Dot.ca on the Frontier Communication Tower.  By the time I drove around to the south side Dot.ca had moved to the southwest box, below the platform.

Dot.ca took off and headed northwest.  I followed and found him on the Kodak Tower, on the northeast corner of the launch pad.

At 4:25 pm, with much ee-chupping vocalization, Beauty arrived and landed near Dot.ca on the east side of the launch pad.

Both took off at 4:40 pm and flew around the tower for a few moments before landing, Beauty on the northeast corner of the playpen and Dot.ca just above her on the netting that still covers the old Mariah and Kaver nest site.

It was near 80 degrees, with dark clouds moving in.  The winds were getting stronger, so I decided to end my watch, leaving Beauty and Dot.ca on the Kodak Tower.  All was peaceful and quiet.

    Love seeing the Kodak tower-it’s like we know every little ledge and corner.

    Great shots of the 2, Carol! And the dark clouds gave the pics sort of a spooky effect! 🙂
