It was very humid out with on and off light rain at the start, then sun and clouds with a temperature of 72 (F) 22 (C)

I started my watch today from the west side balcony of my 16th floor at Seneca Towers. Billie was up on the west side railing. Both juvies flew past whining very loud and she took off with them as they turned east when they reached the south end of the building.

I then made my way down to my car and checked the north end where I found Seth on his top window ledge. It started to rain a bit when I left for downtown at 6:15am.

As I was driving down Seth Green Dr. a rainbow came into view so naturally I had to stop and take a pic or two.

Arriving on the Andrews St. bridge (ASB) around 6:30am I found Dot.ca (DC) on the north corner top I beam of OCSR with his back to me. Not sure at the time which adult it was I drove down to State St. across from the Rochester Plaza Hotel for a closer look.

I took a ride around looking for the rest of the family  and while on the east side I saw a falcon circling Xerox then it disappeared. The crews were done with Court St. bridge from yesterdayand were now on the Broad St. bridge (BSB) to clean up the log jam there. Once again from the ASB I saw falcons-one on the Powers top east side railing and one on the northeast corner of City Place. I drove to the Hochstein School of Music parking lot where I was able to identify Cadence as the City Place bird.

She hung out there with me until somebody flew in with food-she took off and I saw them meet above City Hall then go out of view. Cadence then returned with the food and took it to the Frontier Communications tower (FCT) in the lower white section on an east side beam. I had to go to the City Hall parking lot to see her as she began plucking feathers and started eating.

Suddenly out of nowhere DC came flying in and landed next to Cadence with food of his own. Cadence started screaming and moved over to another beam with her food. They both started eating and after a few minutes she moved back over by dad, mantled her food and began squawking again. DC finished eating moved away from his daughter then flew off to the south.

There was a robin buzzing both Cadence and DC when he was there. They paid absolutely no attention to it as they were intent on eating. At 8:15am I decided to go back to the school of music parking lot where I could see the Beautyful one on Powers and hopefully be able to see the front of Cadence-success on both counts.

I left them around 8:30am and headed home for Seneca Towers. From East Ridge Rd. I could see Seth very clearly as he was facing out from his north end top window ledge and looking white. Just like yesterday he seemed to be hiding from his boys who after a few minutes started whizzing around the building. They passed dad from the side and top, flying high and low as they chased each other round and round coming in and out of view.

Bith and Sellie settled down after maybe 10 minutes straight of playing -when I didn’t hear or see them I called it a watch at about 9:30am. What a fun time I had as well, which of course, made me smile! 🙂
