Eyes to the Skies

Morning Falcon Watch 11-21-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

It was overcast with a temperature of 35 (F) 2 (C)

Today started just like the past 3 days with Seth on his north window ledge and Billie on the northwest corner of Seneca Towers.

Off to downtown where I spotted Beauty on the northeast side top I-beam of OCSR from the Andrews St. Bridge. I went over to Bragdon St. where I could still see the Beautyful one and check the south side of the elevator shaft in case Dot.ca (DC) was in his man cave.

DC wasn’t up there so I moved on to the other end of the Radisson Hotel by Main St. where I checked the north side of the elevator shaft but DC wasn’t there either. Beauty was mainly looking to the north in the time that I watched her so perhaps DC was somewhere she could see him but not me. At one point Beauty pooped and I thought she would take off but she settled back down.

I left Beauty for a bit to look for DC but I never was able to locate him. I wondered if he was over at the Brighton site but Larry reported not seeing any falcons there. Β It’s been quite a few days since the unbanded female has been seen there so she may have moved on.

That site is a popular place where many falcons have been seen over the years including Beauty who was seen there when she first came to Rochester. And speaking of her, when I got back to my spot she was still on OCSR.

I left around 8:20am to check the Medley Centre mall in Irondequoit. As I crossed the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge I spotted a falcon on the west railing of Seneca Towers. When I arrived at the mall I saw nothing but gulls and pigeons and I ended my watch there at about 8:45am. Keep smiling everyone! πŸ™‚

    Have not commented on the blog in AGES! Just cannot imagine how you are keeping them all straight. I imagine the ROC sky alive with falcons!!!

    You should be here to see for yourself Bobbie! There’s certainly plenty around to occupy the Rochester skies! πŸ™‚
