Falcon Watch 7/21/22
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
This morning’s watchers were Dana, Larry O and Carol P. Another hot, steamy day! Starting early helps us beat the heat.
The first falcon I found was Neander hunting off of the Frontier Communication Tower. He was successful on his 2nd attempt. He flew with the prey heading towards the Powers Bldg.
I followed the best I could, but could not find him. I met Dana on the Court St Bridge. Nova was at the TSB nest box.
Nova took off and stooped over us and the river on the south side of the bridge. Neander joined her on a tandem hunt. Nova grabbed a large, dark bird and carried it over the river heading for the red brick building just south of the Blue Cross Arena. I believe they made coffins there a long time ago. Nova landed on the SW corner and started prepping her meal.
We spotted Neander nearby on one of the jail buildings across the street from Nova. A juvie flew over us and landed on another building across from Nova watching her.
Dana and I walked up to Exchange to get a closer look. That’s when Kanfai Malachim (KM) flew up to Nova and grabbed the food from her. Nova took off and landed on the Wilder Chimney.
Blaze joined KM and they shared their breakfast.
Larry joined us under the Freddy Sue Bridge where we watched the falcons from.
Here are some pics of pics from the morning watch. Again, sorry for the poor quality.
