It was 52 (F) 11 (C) with bright blue skies and sunshine after the sun came up

I found Seth on the north end top window ledge as Billie flew from the northwest corner. I went around to my spot on Seth Green Dr. to find Billie on the south end antenna just before she flew off to the southeast.

I then spotted an unbanded male falcon on the Hawkeye railing in hunt mode. He pooped and stretched then flew off to the south out of view at 7:46am.

As I stopped on the Andrews St. bridge downtown I spotted Dot.ca (DC) on the top I-beam north corner of OCSR with his back to me at first and Beauty over on the northeast cube of the Frontier Communications Tower. DC moved to face me before I left to check out the Beautyful one but she was gone when I got over there.

I failed to find Beauty again and as I left downtown I saw that DC was still on OCSR. I checked the Medley Centre but no Big Frank today. I couldn’t stick around as I am shuffling off to Buffalo with Joyce this morning. I ended my watch at 9am smiling after seeing all 4 resident Rochester Peregrine Falcons and a bonus unbanded tiercel! 🙂
