Morning Falcon Watch 11-17-15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
It was 22 (F) 1 (C) degrees to start with bright sunshine and blue skies
Seth was on the north window ledge when I checked from below at the back of my parking lot at Seneca Towers. I drove out to East Ridge Rd. to watch but he was gone when I got there. Look how just the slightest movement of the camera changes the light and color of Seth and the background.
I reported seeing Dot.ca (DC) on the south side of Xerox 6 columns over from the southeast corner as I was parked on Chestnut St.-after examining the pics on my computer I’ve found that it was actually Beauty.
She took off at 7:38am heading southeast and when she didn’t return I left and took a ride around downtown.
I ended up on Woodbury Blvd. 15 minutes later where I spotted DC on the west side 4 columns over from the southwest corner and Beauty back on the 6th column south side of Xerox. He was in the shade and she was in the sun.

They stayed like that for 20 minutes or so and then the Beautyful one flew southwest at 8:15am. When DC saw her he followed. Larry reported seeing a falcon at the Brighton site right about that time.
Beauty returned, circled Xerox a couple times then landed on the 6th column again before flying southeast and back again coming to rest on the 6th column once more. I drove over to Chestnut St. to watch at that time.
DC came back with Beauty and was flying with her around Legacy Tower then I lost sight of them so I drove to Elm St. where I watched Beauty fly around Xerox many times before leaving my field of vision. That was the last PEFA sighting for me today as I left and could find no falcons at the Medley Centre or Seneca Towers. I was smiling when I ended my watch at 9:30am as I always do after seeing our beloved Rochester Peregrine Falcons! 🙂
