Morning watch 9-4-11

By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

Having checked the radar map before leaving home this morning it showed rain and t-storms just about to reachย  Rochester. As I approached downtown it started to rain ever so slightly. I found Beauty on the east side of HSBC.

She flew off after about 10 minutes and I waited for her to return. When she didn’t I left to look for her over on the Broad St. bridge. Having not found her after 25 minutes I ventured back to the east side of town to find her once again on the east side of HSBC. On my way there I took pics of yet another brilliant sunrise.

Beauty stayed there this time for about half an hour as the wind and rain picked up. She stooped on some pigeons around to the north side of the building and vanished. I found her at the nestbox perched beside the main cam.

The Beautyful one flew off and returned immediately and was facing me for a change. Then she went in the nestbox and came back out to her spot by the main cam again.

Soon after she went in the scrape and I lost track of her for CarolP arrived to join me on the Broad St. bridge and we got to chatting. We falcon watchers are a chatty bunch! As I was getting ready to call it a watch and go home Dana came along. I left her and Carol to watch over things. I hope everyone is enjoying the Labor Day holiday weekend! ๐Ÿ™‚
