Morning Falcon Watch 10-2-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was overcast and chilly this morning with a temperature of 47 (F) 8 (C)
I was very surprised when neither Billie nor Seth were present at Seneca Towers this morning-been a very long time since that has happened. Not to worry, I saw them when I got home from my watch!
I spotted Beauty on the top I-beam west corner of OCSR from the Andrews St. bridge when I arrived downtown at 7:20am. I went to Aqueduct St. in the hole to see the front of her from a closer location. The lighting and distance of today’s pics didn’t make for very good pics.
I stayed with the Beautyful one about a half hour then left to look for Dot.ca (DC). I found him from Woodbury Blvd. on the west side of Xerox third column over from the northwest corner. He blended in well-it wasn’t until I checked thru my binoculars the second time that I found him. I went to Court St. across from the Court St. parking garage for a closer view.
About 5 minutes later DC stooped to the southwest quickly leaving my line of vision only to return unsuccessful and land on the south side of Xerox, 4 columns from the southeast corner where I found him yesterday morning. I moved to Chestnut St. to watch him as he was in hunt mode. He pooped and I thought he would take off but he wasn’t quite ready yet.
DC was there about 5 minutes then off again and around to the west corner column. I could only see part of a wing so I went back to Court St. where I could see all of Mr. Clean, er Whitey, I mean DC. lol
I left him to it checking on Beauty as I left downtown-she was still on the west corner of OCSR. I went to Medley Center to no avail and was greeted by Billie and Seth at Seneca Towers at 9am. They were on the top window ledge south end of the building as I pulled over on Seth Green Dr.
I decided to end my watch at 9:15am and as I pulled into my parking lot I noticed Seth had moved closer to his mate. I had to stop and photograph them as they are so cute together.
A great ending to my watch putting a big smile across this watchers face! 🙂
