Sunday Fledge Watch – The Juvies Are Flying High! 6/26/16
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Many of the Watchers gathered very early Sunday morning on the Court St Bridge. Dan, Jeanne, Joyce, Larry O, Dana, Zaph and me, Carol P. We pretty much had the city to ourselves at that early hour. Every one of us were very happy to be there!
After doing some flying around the jail tower, the juvies and Beauty flew over us heading towards the tall buildings. For the next couple hours, we were thrilled to watch them all chase each other and talon tag high above Xerox, B&L and the Chase Lincoln Tower. These buildings all have new names, but I still think of them by there old names. 🙂
When the temps started to near 90 degrees, both the falcons and their watchers headed for shade. It was so much fun watching these young falcons stretch their wings under the watchful eye of their mother, Beauty!
Some good news! Sunday evening Dana and I checked out Seneca Towers where one juvie had been seen. We were happy to see two young falcons there. Congrats Billie and Seth!

I’ve pretty much got the new name for B&L down (Legacy Tower), but I think the new name for Chase sounds REALLY pretentious (the Metropolitan, yuck!) and I didn’t even know they had a new name for Xerox. I can’t keep up.
