Morning watch 2-22-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
The temperature was 14(F) -10(C) when I ventured out this morning. It was somewhat overcast to start but the sun managed to break thru a bit-the wind was calm

I first checked the south side of the OCSR elevator shaft from Bragdon Place and found it empty and when I drove to the other end of the Radisson Hotel by Main St. to check the north side I didn’t have to look for both Beauty and Dot.ca (DC) were on the 2nd I-beam of OCSR. DC was eating and had a full crop while Beauty was further down toward the south corner watching him.

This lasted a few minutes then Beauty decided she wanted some of DC’s meal and flew down to join him.
There wasn’t much left and DC didn’t seem to want to share at first as he grabbed the biggest chunk and backed up. Beauty started eating little bits that were on the I-beam. DC finished then turned around and ran/walked away from Beauty toward the elevator shaft to do some feaking while she finished off his leftovers.
When she was done, Beauty flew down to the end of the 2nd I-beam by the elevator shaft, then up to the ledge between the building and the elevator shaft.

This lasted about half a minute as they both flew south rather quickly. When I got turned around to look Beauty was on one side of the base of Mercury and DC on the opposite side. I drove around to the Broad St. bridge but when I got there DC had left and gone up under the northeast wing of Times Square (TSB).

Beauty then flew to cam 1 (pan cam) and while I was driving down to the hole she visited the nest box as reported by cam watcher Donna. Thanks-I didn’t see where she went from cam 1 and when I got to the hole I only saw DC under the northeast wing at 7:35am.
Perhaps Beauty thought DC would join her at their snowy nest box for some bowing. While I was tweeting, the Beautyful one flew up to join DC under the wing-they were face to face and I think she was wanting to do some bonding with him but he kept looking away toward OCSR and his man cave.
Beauty and DC snuck off Times Square while I was tweeting. I found Beauty on Kodak Office on the southeast corner of the launchpad. She had her back to me from State St. so I ended up on Verona St. where I had a better angle on her.
I left her to find DC and headed straight over to Bragdon St. to check the south side ledge of the OCSR elevator shaft and there he was in his man cave ready to sleep off his breakfast.
I had to smile about that as I left him to it-Beauty was still on KO as I passed by on my way home to Seneca Towers, where I saw no falcons today thus ending my watch at 8:35am. 🙂
