It was 71 (F) 22 (C) with a breeze and  hazy skies

My watch started out with Billie and Seth at the north end of Seneca Towers-them on the top window ledge and me in the back of the parking lot. I often wonder if they roost there at night or just meet up in the morning.

So after checking on them I headed downtown. As I was on the Andrews St. bridge I saw a falcon on the Kodak Office launchpad but by the time I got over there it was gone. I checked all the usual spots and it wasn’t until I got over on Woodbury Blvd. around 7am on the east side of the river that I found both Beauty and Dot.ca (DC) on one of the southeast corners of Legacy Tower (LT) previously known as Bausch&Lomb).

I drove around the corner to Clinton Ave. and parked in front of Frontier. DC decided to move up a little higher while I was driving over there.

Beauty flew off at 7:17am, DC right behind her as they circled the building a couple times. DC flew north and Beauty landed on a southwest corner of LT then immediately flew north as well.

I headed north myself and found the Beautyful one on the northeast cube of the Frontier Communications tower.

She did a little preening and looking around as she stand perched up there. I was parked in the Hochstein School of Music parking lot.

Beauty walked over to the south end of the cube after she was done preening and started closing her eyes so I left her to look for DC whom I never did find again.

I left downtown for Medley Centre but there was no Big Frank or any other falcon there. I also checked St. Ann’s Home and Rochester General Hospital on my way home-nothing seen at either location. There also were no falcons in sight at Seneca Towers so I ended my watch at 9am. I saw all 4 resident Rochester Peregrine Falcons on watch so I was smiling! 🙂
