Morning watch 4-3-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
This mornings weather was calm and overcast with a temperature of 48(F) 9(C)
It was an all Beauty morning watch for me today as I watched her preen, scratch, stretch and keep an eye on her territory from cam 1 for over an hour and a half while Dot.ca (DC) sat on the eggs.
I figured DC was incubating since I didn’t see him around anywhere when I first arrived downtown and thanks to my friend Donna for confirming that fact. After some very busy recent watches chasing after DC, it was nice to just stay in one spot to share space with Beauty.
Did I mention that the Beautyful one was doing some serious preening!? Every picture tells a story don’t it!? 🙂
When I saw that Beauty was getting sleepy from all that activity I decided to leave for Seneca Towers and have a look/see.
No falcons were present when I got there but later on after running an errand I caught 99 on his favorite spot on the top window ledge at the north end of the building.
The fact that Billie wasn’t around (which has been the case quite often lately) leads me to believe that she may be incubating eggs somewhere. A drone would come in handy right about now. Anyway, my watch came to an end at 9am with a smile! 🙂

I had bowel obstruction surgery 25 years ago. Lucked out (no colos(whatever) bag..) I wish for you as easy a go as I had. The best part for me was I lived in an area where I had a really good support group of friends..If I lived closer I’d bring you homemade goodies and soup..Thanks for today’s report. Beauty and DC are being very good parents in waiting..I was thinking DRONES the other day for Billie and 99..Great minds etc. Keep smiling! It’ll get you through!! June

Thanks for the positive words June. I have many friends that have offered to help while I recuperate. I wish you lived closer just so we could hang out together and watch falcons. 🙂
