Fledge Watch 6-19-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Boy what a difference from yesterday weather wise. It was cold and breezy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon. I don’t think the temperature ever got out of the 60’s
Arriving around 5:30am I stopped on the Broad St. bridge (BSB) to get the scoop from Dan and his friend Mary. All 5 family members were present on the Times Square building (TSB). Beauty was under the southeast wing, Dot.ca (DC) on the northwest wing ring, Bronx was under the northeast wing, Genesee on the southwest column above Cadence who was on the south side lower roof. Great way to start the day!
DC disappeared Β shortly after I got there.Bronx was eating at first look-Beauty flew over and finished up what was left. <Click it
Genesee flew over to the Wilder chimney just as Kathy arrived and Dan left. Joyce joined the watch 20 minutes later. I stayed on Broad St. watching Cadence while Kathy and Joyce were in the hole keeping track of Genesee and Bronx. New watcher Patty at some point joined them in the hole and Larry also stopped for a bit before going to work. Bronx flew to Crossroads and I followed Cadence as she made her way around the entire back lower roof of TSB by foot. Genesee flew over to hang out with sis for a while landing above her. The Beautyful one was under the southwest wing supervising all the activity.
Genesee decided he wanted to meet up with his brother on Crossroads. DC flew over to TSB and started diving on something near the south side just like yesterday while Beauty watched from under the southwest wing. He left for a while then was back at it again only this time Cadence flew off TS-I thought that she may have been spooked off from whatever DC was diving on.
Cadence went north so I headed that way as well-I ended up on the Andrews St. bridge (ASB) and spotted her on the Powers building at the base of the flag pole. She ended up flying from there to Crossroads-Patty witnessed her missing a landing and falling down into the top balcony on the south side of Crossroads. She would remain there the rest of the day as she couldn’t figure out how to get out.
The rest of the afternoon was quiet as Bronx under the northeast wing Genesee on the Reynolds Arcade building and Cadence in her jail cell all napped. DC checked on his little girl a couple times and Beauty also took a nap on OCSR.
Just before I ended my watch at 4pm Bronx flew to the south side of Crossroads.
I left downtown smiling after another long fun filled fledge watch with our downtown Rochester Peregrine Falcon family! π
