Thursday Evening Falcon Watch – 6/11/15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
5:45 – 8:30 pm
Watchers this evening: Brian, Kathy , Joyce, Dan, Larry O and Carol P.
Cloudy and low light, with temps close to 70 degrees. A very pleasant evening for a falcon watch.
Highlights:
Watching Genesee run up and down the well wall with wings outstretched and flapping! He will most likely be first to fledge.
Dot.ca stooping off of the northeast wing ledge on the TSB, going after a Pigeon that came a little too close. He chased it to the west and came back empty-taloned. So close! When he returned, he flew directly over us and then returned to the Times Square Bldg.
Beauty feeding on the platform. The cries of Genesee, Cadence and Bronx filled the air. Love hearing their vocalizations!
The whole time Genesee was out on the wall, Dot.ca kept watch over his young son.
Here are some pictures from tonight’s watch. Sorry for the poor quality, but my camera is not very good in low light. Enjoy!
When we ended our watch at 8:30 pm, Beauty was on Mercury’s heel and Dot.ca was on the jail communication tower on the 2nd arm down. Genesee, Cadence and Bronx were still visible at the nest box.
All was peaceful and quiet and no fledges yet. Goodnight!
