Soggy morning Falcon Watch 12-22-15

By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK

Wow, 3 days before Christmas and no sign of winter weather in sight. It was raining and quite dark with a warm 52 (F) 11 (C) degrees as the day started

Neither Billie nor Seth were on Seneca Towers this morning-however, when I crossed the Veteran’s  Memorial Bridge around noon it looked like Buffalo Billie on the northwest corner below the railing.

When I arrived on the Andrew’s St. bridge I spotted Beauty on the northwest corner of the Crossroads building and she looked like she was eating in the rain.  As I was on my way down State St. to get closer I saw her fly off heading toward OCSR. I thought maybe she went to the elevator shaft so I went over to the Radisson Hotel driveway to look but nobody was on either ledge up there. Again, I went to the Andrew’s St. bridge where I could barely see the back of a falcon on the top I-beam northwest side of OCSR.

I parked down on State St. to check her out thru the rain. I didn’t stay long as I had things to do this morning so I left around 8:45am. I checked around for Dot.ca but had no luck before leaving downtown.

Northbound on Bragdon Place I noticed a tree with bright red berries in it and on the balcony of one of the Andrew’s Place Apts. behind it some nice decorations.

There was no falcons at the Medley Centre when I arrived there but a huge pile of cracked corn was still there in the north side parking lot from yesterday. I had forgotten to mention it yesterday-can’t help but wonder if someone is baiting the pigeons and gulls to bring Big Frank in.

So after a soggy uneventful watch I ended it at about 9:15am. At least the Beautyful one and Billie came out to put a smile on my face! 🙂
