By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

Another cold, wind swept day in Rochester with snow flurries on and off and a temperature of 13 (F) -11 (C)

Timing is everything in watching falcons and this morning I had it! As I pulled over on Bragdon Place I caught Beauty flying into the OCSR elevator shaft and land on the north side ledge.  Dot.ca (DC) flew out immediately after, only to fly over to the top ibeam southeast side and start eating. I drove around the block and parked at the Radisson Hotel by Main St. where I could see both of them. It was obvious that Beauty had just eaten as she was feaking and cleaning her talons. So I figured DC was eating her leftovers.

Beauty turned around so I could see her crop-it could be seen pretty good in the darkness of the elevator shaft and it was full. Whitey, er I mean, DC in the meantime was enjoying a nice piece of fresh red meat.

I had to leave to give a friend a ride and when I returned around 8:30am DC was gone from the ibeam and planted on the north side ledge of the OCSR elevator shaft where the Beautyful one had been located before I left.

So where did Beauty go!? Well, I drove down to the north end of the Radisson Hotel on Bragdon Place where I could see the south side ledge of the elevator shaft and voila there she was with her back to the world.

DC ended up turning his back to the world as well so I called it a watch and headed out at 9:30am. No falcons seen at Seneca Towers today but that didn’t keep me from smiling since I did see our resident downtown Peregrine Falcon pair! 🙂
