Sunny with bright blue skies and not a cloud in the sky-temperature of 45 (F) 7 (C)

Donna and I could find no falcons at Seneca Towers at the beginning or end of our watch so there is still concern that the unidentified pair that was seen at Hawkeye last Thursday may be still in the area.

We arrived downtown just before 8am and from the Court St. bridge I spotted a falcon flying above Xerox. We saw it one more time as we checked the east side and then it was gone. Next while we were checking out Kodak Office from Verona St. I found Beauty on the northeast cube of the Frontier Communications tower (FCT). I drove us over to the Hochstein School of Music parking lot to watch.

The Beautyful one was mostly preening and blowing in the breeze as we left her to find Dot.ca (DC). We found him on the northeast corner of the Powers building top railing with his back to us from the back of the City Hall parking lot so we went to the end of Aqueduct St. where we could see the whiteness of his chest.

DC was right across from the nest box and kept looking over his shoulder toward FCT so we wondered if he wanted Beauty to come to the nest box with him. At any rate, we couldn’t stay to see if that happened as Donna was leaving to go home to New Jersey this morning.

We checked the Medley Center for Big Frank but no sign of her again which brought us back to a falcon-less Seneca Towers to end our watch at 9am. It’s been great having Donna on watch with me the past few days-we had a lot of laughs and smiles!
