Falcon Watch Report – 8/9/22
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Please continue to PRAY FOR A FRIEND
Watchers: Larry O, Dana and Carol P.
This morning was very cool, almost cold. Dana and I were wearing hoodies. Larry O had a towel wrapped around his shoulders. lol
It was a quiet watch. The highlight of my watch happened when I was parked on the Andrews Street Bridge. A juvie was on top of the OCSR Elevator Shaft. The juvie was too far away to get an ID.
After a few moments, the juvie spread its wings and took off, dropping down the face of the building. Fast! So fast, I actually lost sight of it. When the gulls low on the river started screaming, I knew the juvie was close, really close.
Right in front of me, the juvie raced across the river, chasing the gulls and a couple pigeons. Next, the juvie zipped over the Andrews St Bridge, heading north. I quickly lost sight of it. Well, that was fun! Of course I got no pictures or videos. I just watched and enjoyed. I would not be surprised if both Kanfai Malachim and Blaze have had a successful hunt.
We did check the High Falls area just in case. The only thing of note that we saw was a juvie Bald Eagle heading south.
The rest of the watch was pretty quiet.
Here are a few pics of pics from today’s watch.
