Saturday Morning Falcon Watch (6:30 – 10:00 am) – 7/25/20
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Morning Watchers: Dana, Larry O & Carol P.
Weather: Warm and Sunny.
My first falcon of the morning was Beauty on the NE corner of the 5 Star Bank Bldg. Dana joined me just before Beauty took off and flew behind the Knights of Columbus Bldg. We saw a Kestrel fly out from behind the building, but not Beauty. We walked over to the east side and found Beauty eating on the NE corner.
After finishing her breakfast, she took off heading NW. We never saw a juvie during our downtown morning watch.
Larry O joined us behind Midtown. We decided to head over to the Court St Bridge. From there we saw no falcons, but watching the life on the river is a lot of fun.
Dana and I headed over to the pedestrian bridge at High Falls. From there, we could see Dot.ca within the framework on the Frontier Communication Tower. So we saw both Beauty and Dot.ca during our morning watch, but no Roc, Geraki or Hope.
On our way home, Dana and I stopped at Seneca Towers, where we spotted a falcon on the Veterans Bridge. It was a juvie and based on size, probably a female. So, we were able to see one of Billie and Beau’s juvies during the morning watch!
Here are some pictures from the morning watch. Enjoy!
