3:00 to 6:00 pm

Watchers: Kathy O, Pat and Carol P.

It was another overcast, dreary day.  This was more like a fall day than summer, with temps in the low 60’s.

When I first arrived, I met Kathy O and Pat in the hole (aka Aqueduct St).  They had two falcons on the Widow’s Walk (WW), but they weren’t sure who.  I moved closer and set-up my scope.  It was Beauty on the rail and Cadence below her.  Both were snoozing on and off.

We didn’t know where Genesee was until he popped up on the south side of WW.  A few moments after he showed himself, Beauty took off.

After Beauty left, Cadence moved to the south side with Genesee.

Beauty returned to the WW and Genesee took off heading west.  We saw him land on the Washington Bldg.  Now that’s a new building to see a falcon on.

Beauty took off heading north west. We could not see Genesee any longer. Cadence remained on WW.  Here are some different views from the west side of the Times Square Bldg. (TSB)

I saw some really awesome flying by Genesee with both Beauty and Dot.ca.  He is really getting the hang of being a Peregrine.  I have no doubt that Cadence will get there soon.

Beauty went on a hunt and brought back dinner.  Whatever it was, the tail was VERY white. All 4 Peregrines were able to fill their crops.  All 4 were on the Widow’s Walk together.

After Cadence rushed Dot.ca and he took off, she spread her wings and took off!  She headed north.  When I caught up to her, she had landed on the south side of the Powers Bldg and her brother was just below her.

I ended my watch at 6:00 pm when it started to drizzle and fog moved in.  It was so nice to see all four Rochester Falcons together as a family and I left all 4 with full crops.  It doesn’t get much better than that.  Goodnight!
