Rochester Falcon Watcher: Carrie

As I arrived Downtown at 12:45, Larry O. and Jim P. let me know where to find “everyone.”  Both juveniles were on the north side of the well-wall.  Archer was on the southeast side of Times Square, above the nest box.  Beauty was nowhere to be seen.  Once Beauty returned to Times Square, around 1:00, she flew and landed near the juveniles repeatedly.  The juveniles, in the meantime, were sitting, walking and flapping along the well-wall and the main camera.

At 3:15, Beauty flew in very slowly with prey.  She dropped this off and the juveniles ate on their own.  From below, it looked like Beauty eventually joined in.  She then took the remainder to the green (copper) line of the Wilder Building at 3:45, where she stashed it.  Shortly after the prey was stashed, Beauty began flying in front of the juveniles, and landing on and off the ledge – teaching and/or enticing.

Other watchers during this fledge watch were Dan, Carla P., Kris G. and her husband, with Carol P., Dawn, and Margaret showing up for Margaret’s watch.
