Another gloomy overcast morning and chilly with a temperature of 24 (F) -4 (C)

Well, I had about as uneventful a watch as I’ve ever had this morning. It was more like a road trip than a falcon watch as I drove around in circles for most of the 2 hours I was out. My first and only sighting didn’t come until 7:47am from the Andrews St. Bridge. I spotted Beauty on the top ibeam west corner of OCSR-her back was to me so I didn’t know it was her at the time.

I drove down to the hole and parked on Aqueduct St. for a closer view in order to ID it as the Beautyful one. She did some preening while keeping an eye out for breakfast.

Beauty flew off at 8:05am in a big hurry and went into a quick stoop and out of view to the south. That was the last I saw of her. The take off shots are not clear at all because she went so fast but the shadows on the window were a bit clearer.

I searched downtown for the next hour and during that time I received messages from both Donna and Carol that Dot.ca was at the nest box for a brief minute around 8:08am. I just missed him as I went to the east side after Beauty flew off. I had an appointment to get ready for and so I ended my watch at 9:10am as I checked Seneca Towers and found no falcons there either. I still smiled for seeing Beauty, as it’s a privilege not everyone gets to do! 🙂
