7/4/2020 Late Afternoon Watch

By Watcher Pat C.

Watchers Larry, Jeanne and Pat met downtown for a late afternoon Independence Day Falcon Watch. After searching most their favorite spots, they began to make themselves known to us. Larry spotted Hope on Thomson Reuters. She then flew off and headed in the direction of FCT. Off we went. At FCT we found one adult, Beauty, and two juvies, Geraki and Hope. Shortly after, Dot.ca flew by with prey, and Roc followed. One of the juvies from FCT also followed Dad. I lost sight of all three, but was glad to have seen all five of our falcon family.

Happy Independence Day!

   Wow! This year has been a different year this year– new camera placements, wunnerful pix, and a new and different way (for me anyway) to catch up on the discussers and the discussions. I missed the annual courting behaviors, and feel like the other yearly rituals of egg watch, eyas hatch and eyases growth, then fledging has been quicker than earlier years (or mebbe it’s just me getting older).
   It’s barely July! Sigh. I hope the 2020 falcon gang stays in Roch for a while longer, and doesn’t mind the watchers, near and far.
   I truly thank all y’all for all the time you take, the cameras & paraphernalia you maintain, and the pix that you take, to watch, and to share your wunnerful pix and stories about the beloved falcons in the Rochester skies with all of us.
