Morning watch 10-18-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
So the latest routine for Beauty is hanging out on the north side of OCSR most of the day. Today was more of the same as I found her there on the top ibeam at the north corner just like yesterday morning.
The rising sun shone on her a while later and made her look white in the front.
My camera had a hard time focusing on this bright spot on OCSR. lol Beauty flew off when I wasn’t looking so after checking around downtown without finding her or Dot.Ca(DC) I went to the Brighton site. As I was driving I watched a pefa fly off the roof on the west side from right above the cubby. It flew southwest out of sight. I waited for a little while to see if it would return with no luck. I then checked KP to no avail as well before going to run some errands. I returned to our fair city and found Beauty on the top ibeam northeast side with her mate DC at the north corner of the 2nd ibeam.
Yesterday Lisa and I noticed a painting on the west side wall of the Andrews building at the corner of Andrews St. and St. Paul St. Today there was a man and a woman in cherry pickers working on the details. The woman on the right used a paint roller to spell out the words “will power”. Very artistic and I like it!
While the Beautyful one and DC were not doing anything exciting I took some pics of the Sister Cities pedestrian bridge. It crosses the Genesee river by the Radisson Hotel to the OCSR building on the other side. On the east (Radisson) side there is one entrance and when you get to the middle of the bridge it veers off to the left and right so that you have 2 exits on the west side(OCSR side). In other words it’s Y shaped.

There are two sets of stairs on the west side that go from the lower walkway to the upper and they make me think of the Rocky movie where he runs up the stairs.
I ended my watch just before noon leaving our content pair of Peregrines on OCSR. It was a breezy,sunny morning which made me smile as I put all the windows down on Angel Car and drove off! 🙂
