Sunday Falcon Watch – Beauty & Dot.ca on FCT – 8/27/17
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
I love going out on a quiet Sunday morning to check on our falcons. I quickly found both Beauty and Dot.ca on the Frontier Communication Tower (FCT).

Dot.ca took off while I wasn’t looking. After checking out the downtown area and not finding any falcons, I parked on the Andrew St Bridge (ASB). Beauty was now gone from FCT. But, I could see that there was a falcon on the top Ibeam of OCSR on the north side. I believe that it was Dot.ca, but couldn’t be 100% sure.
I again drove around downtown Rochester (NY), but had no luck finding Beauty. I even looked up into the OCSR elevator shaft. No falcons there. All was quiet and peaceful downtown, so I decided to go over to Maplewood Park to check out Seneca Towers.
From Maplewood Park, I could see no falcons on the building. This was my view from there.

On my way home, I checked out Kodak Park East and Kodak Park West. Again no falcons found.
I was happy to have seen both Beauty and Dot.ca during my Sunday morning falcon watch. Enjoy the day everyone!
