Saturday Late Morning/Early Afternoon Falcon Watch – 2/7/15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

My watch started at 11:00 am and ended at 1:00 pm.

It was cold and snowy and just another wonderful winter day in Rochester, NY.

I first checked out Kodak Park West, where I found no falcons.

Downtown I found Beauty on the south side of OCSR on the top IBeam.  Dot.ca was tucked into the elevator shaft on the south ledge.

At noon Beauty took off, while Dot.ca remained in the elevator shaft.  I looked around for her, but could not find her. Downtown was very busy again, this time due to Disney on Ice: Frozen being in town.  Perfect weather for them!  lol

I ended my downtown watch and stopped at the pedestrian bridge to check out the High Falls gorge.  I’ll post a few pics at the end of my report.

Fellow falcon watcher Pat had tweeted out earlier that both Billie and 99 were at the north end of Seneca Towers.  When I got there a little before 1:00 pm, they were still there, sitting very close together on the ledge about the windows on the north side.

I was very happy to have seen all 4 Rochester Falcons today safe and sound.

Now, I will leave you with some images from my visit to the pedestrian bridge at High Falls.  It was very cold and the snow was deep, but it was worth venturing out for a look at this beautiful icy wonderland.  It was almost as if Elsa had been there.  🙂

    MAK tweeted earlier in the morning that Billie and 99 were at ST and that they flew away, but I hadn’t seen those tweets before I had to leave for some errands, in the middle of which I decided to check ST. I’m glad I did. And I’m glad you had a four falcon day, Carol! And I love the deer photos.
