Fledge Watch – Monday – 6/21/10 (4 – 7 pm)
Rochester Falcon Watcher: Carol P.
No fledges yet.
I arrived downtown a little before 4 pm. I spotted Brian H on top of the South Ave garage and Beauty at the base of the Mercury statue, prepping dinner for her two eyases. Archer was on the top I-Beam of the old Changing Scenes Restaurant.
At 4:30, Beauty took the prey up to the nest box and fed Callidora and Jemison for what seemed like a very long time. Good. They would have nice full crops tonite.
Brian, MAK and Deborah joined me. It was very sunny and warm, so we ended up in the shade on the north side of the War Memorial. When Deborah left, we moved to the north side of Broad St to again follow the shade.
Archer took off while we weren’t looking. Beauty flew up to the SE wing at the top of the Times Square bldg, above the nest box. We could see wings flapping now and then from the nest box and one eyas stood at the end of the platform under the main camera.
By 6 pm, we were joined by Jeanne, Carla P, Dana and Lou. Everything was quiet when I left at 7 pm.
I think more and more Watchers will start to keep an eye on our soon-to-be fledglings.
