It was exactly at the freezing point this morning when I left for my watch,  32(F) 0(C) with bright sunshine and blue skies

As I arrived downtown I found Beauty on cam 1 also called pan cam with her back to me. She flew to the southeast wing ledge a minute later, landing where I couldn’t see her so I went over to Exchange Blvd. in front of the Blue Cross Arena to observe.

The sun was shining on the main body of the Times Square building making the Beautyful one glow as she waited patiently for her mate, Dot.ca (DC) to show up with her breakfast food gift. It didn’t take too long as DC came flying in chirping at 7:57am. Beauty flew out to meet him over the Philipone building then they went to the deck where a food exchange took place. Beauty took it to the base of Mercury to eat and DC flew over to the top I-beam south corner of OCSR.

I couldn’t get my camera in place fast enough to get the exchange as it happened very quick-just the shadow of one of them approaching the deck. The sun was washing DC out as his whiteness is so bright to begin with but I did manage to salvage a couple pics of him as he watched Beauty eat on Mercury. I was watching from the hole where Bank Place meets Aqueduct St. where I had a good view of them both.

Beauty finished eating at 8:15am and flew off-DC flew off right after and I lost sight of him as he disappeared behind Crossroads. Beauty doubled back and went back up to the southeast wing ledge.

Beauty flew north not too long after that so I drove north down State St. thinking maybe she and DC had hooked up at Kodak Office but they weren’t there.

I had an appointment to get to so I had to leave at 8:30am. When I got home, neither Billie nor 99 were anywhere on Seneca Towers. Beauty and DC continue to go through their courting rituals which makes me continue to smile! 🙂
