Morning watch 10-8-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Not much of a watch this morning but I did see a falcon. I parked on the Broad St. Bridge and with my binocs was able to spot a bump on the launchpad of KO. It’s a considerable distance but I have a blurry pic of it.
I pulled over on State St. and got a shot of it but the back was facing me.
From down near Mill St. on the east side of the Kodak Tower I could see the front of this falcon and it didn’t seem dark enough to be Beauty so I’m guessing it was Dot.Ca.
I started videotaping it just before it flew off from the northeast corner of the launchpad heading north and then I lost it. I decided to go check BS before heading home. I couldn’t find a falcon there anywhere on the building so I ended my watch to go take care of something. I saw a Peregrine and so I’m smiling! 🙂
The link for a poor quality video is below click it it you dare! lol

The pefa’s feathers seemed to be fluffed a bit for the cool morning, making it trickier for even you experts to ID. Beauty was annoyed by something awhile ago, so possibly it was an “intruder”? Angel Car is a nice ride, MAK! I’ll look for it next Saturday. My brother and I are going to call Carol P. before heading downtown. Maybe we’ll all get to meet!

I will definitely be looking to meet you on Saturday Barb! Can’t wait!! I think Beauty was probably bothered by the guy in the cherry picker at the Thomson Reuters building today.It’s very close to her nest box. Thanks, I love my AC! 🙂

Alison, I was given a 2001 Mercury Sable by an angel – therefore it was named Angel Car(AC). lol 🙂

Oh, how nice. Your angel probably wants regular falcon reports 😀
