By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

It was sunny with blue skies and a temperature of 57 (F) 14 (C) to start this morning

I found Billie on the top window ledge south side of Seneca Towers (her spot) as I started my day. She did a little preening and stretching before flying southeast after sharing space with me for  few minutes.

I left for downtown when Buffalo Billie didn’t return. My first stop is always the Andrews St. and today I was pleasantly surprised to have 3 falcons in view from there. Now, who to check first-I opted for Kodak Office (KO).

Dot.ca (DC) was on the northeast corner of playpen netting on KO. Next I was able to ID Genesee as the falcon on the top arm of the Frontier Communications tower (FCT) when I saw his silver right leg band. And last I checked Times Square (TSB) to find that it was Beauty under the northeast wing.

So back to Genesee to observe him while he’s still around as I can see Beauty and DC all winter. He was busy while I watched as he preened, stretched, scratched, pooped a couple times and managed to get in a short nap while watching his surroundings.

Oh and Genesee also had lots to say too!

Genesee graced me with his presence for about 20 minutes then he spread his gorgeous juvie wings and flew northwest at 7:22am.

I went north toward KO and found DC to still be on the northeast corner of the playpen but no sign of Genesee so I left DC again.

The Beautyful one was still on TSB under the northeast wing with her back to the world so I parked in front of the Blue Cross Arena on Exchange Blvd. to get her profile. She too did some preening and stretching.

At 8am Beauty turned to the north and spread her wings leaving my field of vision. I thought she had flown off but when I drove over to the hole parking lot I could see that she had just moved to the north side of the ledge. Then I found out why Beauty went over to the other side-I heard a juvie whining and spotted a head peeking up from the north side of the back lower section of TSB.

I decided to go across the street to the parking lot next to TSB for a closer view. I could see more than just his head from there as he continued to yell at mom.

I thought maybe he was saying feed me but after a while he started plucking feathers and eating something he had under him. So then I thought he was probably saying this is my food and you can’t have it!! teehee

Beauty flew south just before 8:30am and Genesee finished eating and went to the back of the ledge out of view. I was in need of my own breakfast so I left for home where I found no falcons ending my watch at 9am. How nice to see Genesee again today giving me lots of smiles! 🙂
