By Rochester falcon watcher MAK

Another chilly start to the day in our fair city! Parked on the Broad St. bridge a little over an hour into my watch I finally spotted a falcon on the 2nd arm of the FCT. I drove over to take a look and after taking 1 shot with my camera it flew off. I believe it was Archer.

After a few moments I saw movement inside the framework but couldn’t quite see what it was so I drove over to Plymouth Ave. for a different angle. On the platform I spotted Beauty picking at something.

She then hopped over into the middle of the structure and flew out and up to the platform railing on the north side.

The Beautyful one spent a half hour preening and picking out white feathers from her chest. She suddenly looked to the north and flew off in that direction in a very casual flight. Did she see Archer in the distance I wondered? She didn’t return and after 10 minutes of waiting I decided to call it a watch. Smile people it doesn’t cost a thing! lol  🙂
