Morning watch 12-7-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
I left for downtown under overcast skies but the wind was calm and the temperature was about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. I didn’t find Beauty right away but after a drive around the city I spotted her on the money bag hand of Mercury as I parked on the Broad St. Bridge(BSB).
After 20 minutes Beauty flew off over the Blue Cross Arena to the Cornhill area then she doubled back down river and to the east. I lost her behind Midtown as she was most surely in hunt mode and looking to stir up some prey.
DebbieH came by on her way to work I told her she just missed the Beautyful one and to jump in the car to go look on the east side. We had no luck finding her so I dropped Deb off for work at the corner of Fitzhugh and Broad St. in front of her workplace the Ebenezer Watts building and headed over to Brighton.
As I came around the back of BS on the east side of the building I spotted a falcon on a window ledge but it took off as I pulled over to the side of the road. I waited about half hour but it didn’t return so back to downtown I went. I checked around the city 2 or 3 times when I got a text from DebbieH that Beauty was on Widows Walk. At the time I was over by KO looking so I drove straight down Plymouth Ave. and parked between Broad and Church St. at first.
I then drove down to Broad St. and parked in front of Debbies’ building to be closer to Beauty.
She was still looking for breakfast and after 10 minutes she flew off to the north and I thought for sure she was going to the Frontier Communications Tower or Kodak Office.
I checked both locations with no luck and chose to end my watch as I had to leave for an appointment. Beauty always makes me smile and today was no exception! 🙂
