Wednesday Morning Falcon Watch (8:30 – 10:30 am) – 8/19/20
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Morning Watchers: Larry O & Carol P.
Morning Falcons: Beauty, Dot.ca and a Falcon Flyover
Morning Weather: Cool, Blue sky, sunshine and Fluffy White Clouds
During the morning watch, Beauty was in serious hunt mode, even though she had a pretty big crop. She was chasing pigeons all over, especially behind the Times Square Bldg and over the Federal Bldgs. She hung out a lot on the Mercury Statue. Dot.ca was always nearby, first on OCSR and then over on the Powers Bldg.
While I had both of them in view, a 3rd falcon flew over, heading towards Xerox. It was smaller, the size of a male, but I wasn’t able to get a picture to verify if it was adult or juvie. I did search for the 3rd falcon, but was unable to find it.
Here are some pictures from the morning watch. Enjoy!
See her on top?
On your mark, get set, go! My bet is on Beauty!

Unfair contest, Mercury is stuck on the puff of air from that Wind whose face he is floating above.
Which might it be: Boreas the North-Wind, Zephryos (Zephyrus) the West, Notos (Notus) the South, or Euros (Eurus) the East?
