A heavy mist was falling this morning with dark, overcast conditions and a chilly temp of  62 (F) 17 (C)

So, I’m thinking our downtown juvies have left us. Ontario was last seen by Dan on 7-19-17 and Rachel was last seen by me on 7-21-17. They may show up again but I’d say the chances are slim now. The last time the Seneca Towers brothers were seen was 7-23-17 by Joyce and I. I’m hoping to see them again but not counting on it. That said, we still have 4 adult PEFA’s to keep an eye on which brings me to this mornings watch. The weather was lousy but in the darkness and misty rain I managed to find Dot.ca (DC) in the OCSR elevator shaft on the north ledge staying high and dry from the elements.

I left him to go have a look around downtown and after a couple trips I found Beauty on the Kodak tower. She was on the west side arch ledge above where the old Mariah & Kaver nest box once was located.

I shared space with her for a bit and then made a couple more trips around the city with no luck finding any other falcons and DC was gone from the elevator shaft. When I returned to observe the Beautyful one she had her head tucked in under her wing. She was napping on and off.

I made one more trip around and when I came back through DC was on the northeast corner of the netting on Kodak. I tweeted it out and when I looked back up he was gone. He’s a sneaky little tiercel!

That’s all she wrote folks as I didn’t see anybody at Hawkeye or Seneca Towers as I passed through there. Even though it was a dismal morning watch Beauty and DC still put a smile on my face! 🙂
