It was 55 (F) 13 (C) degrees when I stepped out this morning. There were blue skies and bright sunshine after the sun came up

Seneca Towers was quiet for the 3rd morning in a row-no falcons to be found. Once downtown, I came across Beauty eating on the southeast corner of HSBC. The sun was making her look golden from behind as I was parked on Chestnut St. in front of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial park.

She finished eating after a few minutes then did some feaking and flew off over to the RGS antenna just like yesterday morning. I parked next to HSBC on Broad St. to observe

At 6:34am the Beautyful one flew west

From the Andrews St. bridge (ASB) I saw a falcon flying around the Frontier Communications tower (FCT). I drove over to the City Hall parking lot but didn’t see it, but when I drove down and parked on Fitzhugh St. in front of the Sister Cities parking garage I spotted Cadence on the south side platform railing of FCT.

She was mostly looking north in between a few scratches. I looked north with my binoculars and could see a falcon on the west side peaked roof of Kodak Office. Just as I got my camera in position to snap off a pic the falcon flew off to the west. A few minutes later at 7am Cadence stooped down toward Plymouth Ave. and never resurfaced from behind the Frontier building.

I took a ride around in search of and as I was stopped in traffic from the Jehovah’s Witnesses convention at the Blue Cross Arena I spotted Beauty on the 3rd arm of the jail tower. I parked on the Court St. bridge and clicked off a couple pics.

I had to leave to fulfill a commitment at that time and when I returned I could find no sign of a falcon either downtown or at Seneca Towers when I arrived there. I ended my watch at 9am smiling for seeing at least 2 falcons this morning. 🙂
