A Weekend of Beauty Watching and Short-Earred Owls Outstanding in Their Field! :-) 1/28 & 1/29/12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
I do love the weekends. There is so much to do and see. This weekend was no exception. After a long week of work, it was time to play! 🙂
Both Saturday and Sunday, I found Beauty downtown, hunting over the river north of the Times Square bldg. and chasing the pigeons around the Xerox tower and the shell of the old Midtown Plaza. She was quite busy and fun to watch.
I did check on Unity a few times, but never spotted her. I’m sure she’s fine. We’ve been seeing her on and off near the blue bldg she claimed as her nest site last year.
Today (Sunday, 1/29/12), Kathy O, Lisa McK, Dana and I decided to visit the Short-Earred Owls of Monroe County. They had been seen Saturday night by Joyce and Susan C, so we knew they were still there. We arrived around 3:20 pm and were witness to an unbelieveable evening of SEO antics. We weren’t alone. Many other owl enthusiasts were parked along the country road with us, including a family with two young girls who were also enjoying watching the owls hunt and play.

Hi Carol. Wonderful pictures. We spent about 45 minutes with Snowy on Sunday at the lake and tried to find the SEO but had no luck. Where on Church Rd are they? Thank you!!!
