Monday Morning Fledge Watch – 6/22/20
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Watchers this morning from 6:30 – 10:30 am: Kathy O, Larry O, Dana, Sue, Shaky and Carol P.
Weather: Hot and muggy. Bright sunshine. 80’s
When I arrived downtown, I quickly found Roc on the NE corner of City Place, which is very close to the Frontier Communication Tower. I drove around trying to find the other juvies, with no luck. When I returned to where Roc was, he was gone.
I met Larry O over on the Andrews St Bridge. He had spotted a juvie lower on the Frontier Communication Tower (FCT). There was an adult on the north end of the Cross Rds Bldg. Pretty sure this was Beauty. We headed over to FCT.
Kathy O joined us and let us know there was another juvie on the shorter communication tower. I walked around to get a better view and found Hope up on the south side platform. So, we had all three juvies! Roc lower in the framework, Geraki on the shorter comm tower and Hope on the platform.
Dana joined us, and we moved to the south side of FCT to get a better view of all three. First Geraki, then Roc, then Hope took off heading south. We all split up. I was able to ID Dot.ca on the 2nd IBeam down on OCSR.
Dana had gone to the Andrews St Bridge and spotted all three juvies on the north end of Cross Rds. We all arrived in time to see them playing together. So much fun to watch!
Shaky and Sue joined us on the Andrews St Bridge and we all settled in to watch the juvies play and fly. Even got to see some talon tagging. So much fun!
Here are some pictures from my morning watch. Oh, and a quick video of them playing on Cross Rds. Enjoy!
