Morning watch 12-10-12
By Rochester Falcon Watcher MAK
The temperature when I left the house was around 50 degrees and it was dark and dreary. Since I was not having any luck finding Beauty I decided to take pics of the decorated trees around the city and add them to my album for all of you to enjoy too! My favorite was in the lobby of the Clinton Square building shown below.

While parked on the Broad St. Bridge DebbieH drove by waving on her way to the South Ave. garage. I waited for her to come walking up on her way to work. We had a nice little visit then she was on her way. I drove around town again after she left and then headed to Brighton. I saw no bumps on the front or west sides of the building but as I rounded the back of the building I spotted Pigott flying after BST on the east side. They first flew south then doubled back flying over the building to the front where I couldn’t see them. I waited and BST returned to land on the southeast corner by the roof top tree.
I enjoyed his company for a bit and then I took a ride around the building to see where Pigott might be. I didn’t find her so I re-joined BST on the east side. He was busy preening and I believe he may be molting as I’ve witnessed lots of white down feathers coming out of him the last few days.
At about 9:30am BST flew off to the south-I watched him til I couldn’t see him anymore and then I waited to see if he would come back.
When he didn’t I went back to downtown to find the Beautyful one. After another few times around town I noticed a pefa scaring up pigeons on Main St. near the Liberty pole as I turned off Franklin St. onto Main. I can’t say for sure but it is my opinion that it was most likely Beauty as I saw her chasing pigeons in this same location one day last week as well. I wanted to stay and look for her some more but I had to leave at the time. I did return later after noon but wasn’t able to find her. So today my pics and videos are all BST which should make y’all smile since he is so darn cute! 🙂

Stop in the B&L Wintergarden too to see the tree and decorations. The company I work for provides decorations all around and the tree. There is also a coffee cart. Stop in for a warm up. I used to take care of that account. If I was still there, you betcha I would have been outside after work on a falcon watch. Stay warm and falcon on!
