Morning watch 12-6-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
Let me just say that the sky at sunrise as I made my way toward downtown was sunsational!
I spent a lot of time looking for Miss Beauty this morning and as they say good things come to those who wait. Whoever they are – they were right but before we get there I’ll fill you in on my morning. Fellow falcon watcher and good friend DebbieH came by on her way to work today on the Broad St. Bridge(BSB) and broke up my search for a few minutes.ย After she left I made a couple more trips around downtown before heading to the Brighton location(BS) to try my luck. Mr. BST was there waiting for me on an east side window ledge near the tree that grows on the roof top.
He was sleepy and again just like yesterday he ended up tucking his head in his wing to take a nap. I stayed about 30 minutes and then returned to downtown to continue my search for the Beautyful one. Round and round and round I went. There were pigeons everywhere enjoyingย their freedom.ย They were happy MAK couldn’t find Beauty for it meant they could relax for the time being. I took a ride to KP to check and found no pefa there-no surprise since one hasn’t been seen there in weeks. The morning was sunny with blue skies and perfect for picture taking. Finally just shy of 5 hours after I started my watch I spotted Beauty. She was on the outstretched money bag hand of Mercury- an added bonus cuz I hadn’t seen her there since before I went on my month long trip.
Beauty seemed very relaxed up there as she kept her eye on everything around her including me. I was in the hole watching as Pat who works in the Thomson Reuters building stopped on her way back to work from her lunch break. She welcomed me home and was very excited to see Beauty. After she went back to work I walked up the stairs at Falcon Watcher Central to the BSB for a front view of our girl Beauty. She stayed just a few minutes before flying off toward Cornhill.
I could now carry on with my day smiling as I left our fair city! ๐
