Eyes to the Skies

Morning Falcon Watch 10-20-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

The temperature was 59 (F) 15 (C) with cloudy skies and pop up showers and a busy breeze

Seth was by himself on the north window ledge of Seneca Towers this morning as I went out to East Ridge Rd. to have a look.

As I was coming up St. Paul St. I saw a falcon fly into a stoop toward the river gorge from the northwest side of Hawkeye. I checked the perimeter of Hawkeye but saw no falcons. When I arrived downtown on the Andrews St. bridge at 8am I spotted a falcon on the large drum on the Frontier Communications tower.

While I was driving down to State St. I watched it fly off behind the drum so I went over to Fitzhugh St. in front of the Sister Cities parking garage where I found not one but 2 PEFA’s. Beauty and Dot.ca (DC) were on the cross beam to the large drum.

DC’s head was blocked by a beam from where I was located and they were facing each other at first but after a while DC turned his back to the Beautyful one.

They were settled and I was in a hurry so I left them to check the Medley Center,Hawkeye and Seneca Towers. No luck at Hawkeye or the mall but I did find Buffalo Billie and Seth on the north window ledge across from each other.

That’s all she wrote folks-I ended my watch at 9am with a smile after seeing our 4 resident Rochester Peregrine Falcons safe and sound for another day! 🙂
