It was 23 (F) -5 (C) with wind blown light snow showers and overcast skies

As I pulled into a parking spot out in the visitor’s parking lot of Seneca Towers (ST) on Seth Green Dr. I spotted Billie and Seth on the south window ledge. After tweeting my findings and barely getting my camera rolling, Seth decided to hop off the ledge and fly southeast out of view. He didn’t come back as Buffalo Billie and I anticipated his return.

I stayed with Billie a few more minutes then left for downtown after checking the perimeter of ST for Seth.

Arriving downtown around 8:15am I spotted Dot.ca (DC) on the top I-beam southeast side of OCSR as I pulled into the Radisson Hotel driveway by Main St. Once again, I barely got set before he flew off and ended up on the 2nd I-beam at the east end of it near the elevator shaft. Little did I know that Beauty was back in out of my view eating.

The Beautyful one quickly came out where I could see her and there was a half hearted bow between the two of them and then she went back to eating. He waited just so long and then moved in to try and take a hunk but Beauty wasn’t having any of that!

Soon after his failed attempt, DC flew off and back up to the top I-beam landing at the south corner and then walking over a couple windows worth. When I looked back at Beauty she was finished eating and doing some feaking so that explained why DC jumped ship.

Half a minute later Beauty flew off and went east out of view-she didn’t return. I stayed with DC until about 8:30am then I left to look for Beauty. He was napping a bit when I left him.

I was unable to locate Beauty so I moved on to the Medley Centre mall, where to my surprise there was not a bird to be found for the second day in a row. Kind of strange as there are usually gulls flying around at the very least. Larry had reported no falcon at the Brighton site on his way to work but he did see one there later in the day around 4:15pm on the east side by the tree. I ended my watch there at 8:45am after seeing our 2 bonded pair of Rochester Peregrine Falcons, which, as you probably guessed-put a smile on my face! 🙂
