Today’s starting temperature was a copy of yesterday at 22 (F) -6 (C) with mostly sunny conditions

I thought I was looking at Billie at the time, but it turns out it was Seth I started my day with as he was on the north window when I first landed on East Ridge Rd.

He flew off out over the river then returned and came to rest on the northwest corner below the railing.

I left after a few minutes for downtown-once there, I found Dot.ca (DC) on the north ledge of the OCSR elevator shaft. He was tucked in a bit but showing his whiteness, making it easy on me for the ID.

I checked the south ledge for Beauty but didn’t see her, so I took a ride around downtown to search for her. I didn’t find her until I came back around to Bragdon Place where I checked the south side of the elevator shaft again. This time I could just barely make out the dark form of the back of a falcon-I wondered if she had been up there the first time I checked as I wasn’t totally convinced a falcon was there until she came out of the shadows.

The Beautyful one then flew out over the river, made a U-turn and returned to the same spot she had just vacated.

I left around 8:35am, checking on DC one more time from the Radisson Hotel by Main St.-he was still up there so off to the Medley Centre mall I went.

I didn’t see any falcons at the mall but when I arrived at my spot on East Ridge Rd. I found Seth was still hanging around at the north end of the building. He was up on the railing and he flew off soon after I arrived, doubling back to land on the north window ledge.

I left him and flew off myself to end my watch at about 9:30am. Our falcons continue to make me smile every morning! 🙂
