Fledge watch 8-8-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Donna and I arrived on the Broad St. Bridge(BSB) where Dan and Larry were sitting in their chairs. Larry had forgotten his phone so he couldn’t tweet what he and Dan were seeing. They let us know that Beauty was under the southeast wing of the Times Square building and over by City Hall Orion and Dot.Ca(DC) were hanging out on the Frontier Communications Tower(FCT).
After Larry and Dan left Donna and I headed straight to FCT so we could share space with the handsome DC and his young fledgling son Orion. I remember Archer hanging out on FCT with Callidora back in 2010. The platform makes a good playpen for juvies to run around,flap their wings and eat meals.
DC was hiding under the platform watching the antics of his boy.
Around noon they both left and after searching for them with no luck I took Donna over to the high falls pedestrian bridge. She had wanted to see the old stomping grounds of Mariah and Kaver before returning home. I was able to see a falcon on the top ibeam northeast side of OCSR. We would find out when we checked from the Andrews St bridge that it was Beauty. This is a place she and Archer liked to go to for shade in the afternoon. Unfortunately our watch was cut short at around 1:30 by vehicle problems but we were able to go out and join Kathy,Carol,Dana and Jeanne at the end of the night over by city hall where we spent most of the morning. We all were smiling throughout the last week that Donna has been here because she is just plain FUN and she has a keen eye for the falcons! 🙂

Thank you MAK, had a blast with you all week. Every day was a challenge….where are the falcons but you knew right where to find them. Now I know all their secret spots too! I think we may just have to do this again! 🙂
