By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

What a gorgeous day!  We tied the record high temperature at 61 degrees today.  The sun was bright and the winds were gusting.

My first stop was the west end of Kodak Park.  No falcons found there, so I headed to the Brighton site (BS).

On the north side of the east end of the building, I found a falcon on a window ledge.  This was where we usually found Pigott roosting at night.  Based on size, I would say this was a female and she was unbanded.  Possibly the same one we had been seeing a few weeks ago.

A big flock of Canada Geese flew over the building, honking loudly.  This got the falcons attention.  She took off, flying overhead and then returning to the northeast corner of the building in the full sun.  Larry O joined me for a short while then had to leave.

Just as Larry was leaving, the falcon took off and flew to the front (north side) of the building.  That’s where I left her to go downtown to search for Beauty and Dot.ca.

From the Broad St Bridge (BSB), I spotted Dot.ca on top of the Times Square Bldg (TSB) under the northeast wing.

After driving around downtown Rochester and having no luck finding Beauty, I returned to the Broad St Bridge.  There she was! While I was gone, Beauty had joined Dot.ca on the Times Square Bldg.  They were sitting very close to each other.

I left them to go to Seneca Towers (ST) to check on Billie and Seth.  They were both together on top of the window ledge at the north end of the building.

My last check was Medley Center.  I found no falcons there or at nearby St. Ann’s.

It was time for me to end my watch.  I was happy to have found five falcons during my watch and that all was peaceful and quiet.
