Sunday Morning Falcon Watch 11/5/23
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Yesterday morning I headed downtown for a Sunday morning falcon watch. I found Neander on the SW corner of the Wilder Bldg. I followed his line of sight. He was intently watching Nova who was eating her breakfast on the SE corner of the Telesca Bldg. Feathers were flying!
It wasn’t long before Neander joined Nova to grab a share of her meal. Loud vocalizations filled the quiet Sunday morning air. Neander grabbed a small portion of what appeared to be a pigeon while Nova grabbed the rest of it and flew off heading south behind the Wilder Bldg. She cached it and flew back, landing on top of the Wilder Chimney.
Neander quickly ate his small meal and took off heading towards OCSR. I spent the rest of my time watching Nova on the chimney.
On my way home I stopped at ST and found one falcon there. I was not able to see if banded, so not sure if it was Billie or Beau.

How nice to see our favorite pair up close (well, without a screen between us). Thank-you for sharing this with us.

Looks like Neander has taken a page out of Dot.ca’s book, begging his mate for food.

Well, he wasn’t begging, he just took it. lol
He may have helped Nova with the hunt.
