Morning watch 2-9-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

I’d say there was 8 inches of snow from the storm since yesterday with a few more to come today before it’s all over. It was snowing and blowing with a temperature of 18 (F) -8 (C) when I left this morning

I expected more snow than what we got here at Seneca Towers when I got to my car-it still made for a slip, sliding drive on area roads. I made my way around downtown slow but steady but could find no falcons until about 40 minutes into my watch. Stopping on State St. below Kodak Office I spotted Beauty up on the south side arch.

I shared space with the Beautyful one for half hour or so before Dot.ca (DC) joined her at around 8:35am. DC flew in from the south and landed on the opposite side of the arch from her.

I left them there around 9am and headed for Seneca Towers where I found both Billie and 99 in the same spots as yesterday on the south end of the building on the top window ledge.

I didn’t watch them for long as I had some business to attend to. I left Buffalo Billie and 99 at 9:40am smiling after seeing all 4 Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂

    Well, it looks like at least Billie was enjoying a good meal. 🙂 Can’t believe you made it out today, MAK. This morning’s drive was terrible. I can’t wait to see what the evening commute brings.

    Yeah, the roads were lousy this morning-just have to take your time. 🙂

    Wow MAK! Thanks for going out and checking on our little friends 🙂
    It was an icy ride to work this morning here too. Had about 1/2 inch of ice and sugary type snow and turning corners was “hairy”.

    I can dig that Ginny! 🙂
