As I made my way around downtown I spotted Beauty under the southeast wing of Times Square (TSB) from the Andrews St. bridge. I whipped down to Basin St. in the hole and discovered Dot.ca (DC) was under the northeast wing watching Beauty as she was eating.

I couldn’t see either one of them very well from there so I went over by the Blue Cross Arena (BCA) on Exchange Blvd. where I could see Beauty very well but only DC’s tail feathers. I thought this would be ok as I fully expected DC to join Beauty to try and get some food from her.

Sure enough, about 5 minutes later DC flew over and landed next to Beauty at which point she started mantling (spread her wings over food to guard it) her food.

You can see DC land by the Beautyful one on my snippet movie. DC ended up going in on the ledge out of view and when he tried to get some Beauty took her food and flew off leaving him looking for scraps.

Beauty showed up under the northeast wing for a few seconds then flew northeast-DC crossed over to the northeast ledge then he flew east right around 8am. I spotted a falcon with its back to me on the top ibeam southeast side of OCSR as I was pulled over by the Radisson Hotel near Main St. I thought it was DC but it turned out to be Beauty.

I found out it was Beauty when I drove over to Broad St. where I found DC back under the northeast wing of TSB. I pulled over next to the BCA where I could see both of them.

DC flew off around 8:30am heading east. I stayed a few more minutes watching Beauty across the way on OCSR then I left to have a look around for DC with no luck. I arrived home at Seneca Towers, with no falcons around I ended my watch at 9:05am. Once again DC put a smile on my face with his food antics! 🙂
