Morning watch 2-4-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Another overcast morning with snow falling but much warmer with a temperature of 26 (F) -3 (C)
One of these days I’m going to see more than a couple falcons in the OCSR elevator shaft-until then I’ll just have to be happy with just seeing them. lol So I checked the south side ledge first from Bragdon Place and found Beauty facing out with food in her crop.
While I was taping the Beautyful one she turned around and that’s all the action I saw today. haha! She did show me that there was food in her crop which is always a good thing.
At one point I thought Dot.ca (DC) was tucked way in on the same ledge as Beauty but couldn’t be sure. The snow slowed down a bit but that didn’t help to see way back in there. I decided to go get some coffee and when I returned DC was on the north side ledge facing out and Beauty had her back to me as I pulled over in the Radisson Hotel driveway where I could see both of them.
I hung out a few more minutes until I noticed an eyelid closed on DC, so with that I decided to call it a watch.
This is the lull before the storm that is the beginning of the Peregrine season-soon the hormones will be raging and I’ll be back to chasing them all over the place. Until then, I’ll just keep on watching and smiling! 🙂
