By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

Talk about just in the nick of time! Not only did I have to wait ’til the last minute for a sighting but I don’t even think it was Beauty now.  I do believe  Beauty and Archer have changed their game plan as far as old MAK is concerned. They must know I am crunched for time these days so instead of playing hide and seek they are just trying to tease me with a brief appearance and then “poof” all gone, bye-bye!! lol  After driving around the city a few times with no luck finding a falcon( and  no doubt making people waiting for a bus think I’m stalking them by driving by so many times teehee)I parked it on Fitzhugh St. and waited for Beauty and/or Archer to arrive on the FCT. As the clock ticked away every large bird that flew into view was checked out and then as I was about to get ready to leave I saw the familiar wing flap of a Peregrine Falcon! Yay with no time to spare it landed on the top arm west side of the FCT. I quick took a couple pics as I saw that it was looking down and in hunt mode. I tweeted that it was Beauty but after looking at my pics on the computer screen I believe it was Archer. He took off fast in a half stoop and that was that. This all took place in less than a minute! PHEW what a rush! So here are the 2 pics I got and you can be the judge of who it was up there.

Isn’t it amazing how I can say so much about so little!?! lol Have a great day everybody and remember to smile often cuz it makes people wonder what you’re up to!!!   🙂
