Morning Watchers: Kathy O, Dana, Larry O & Carol P.

Weather: Cooler morning with clouds, then sun. Nice morning.

The beginning of my morning watch was falcon-less. I drove all over and could not find a falcon anywhere. I ended up on the Court St Bridge, checking out the life on the river. It’s such a beautiful place in the middle of our city.

Kathy arrived and immediately spotted a falcon on B&L. It was Hope! Then a 2nd over on the top arm of Frontier Communication Tower (FCT). I could tell it was an adult, but not which one. We were too far away.

Dana joined us and we settled in to watch Hope and the adult. During that time, the adult was hunting off of FCT, sometimes on the top arm, sometimes on the 2nd arm. Hope walked along the wall on B&L and took a hop/flight to the east side of B&L, out of our view.

Later in the watch, I spotted a dark-headed juvie on the SE corner of the Five Star Bank Bldg. It didn’t stay long. Hope eventually came back into view on B&L and Dot.ca landed on the light at the northwest corner of Xerox (reported by Larry O).

That’s pretty much all the falcon activity during the morning watch. I was very happy to see two of our three juvies this morning.

Here are some pictures from the morning watch. Enjoy!
