This morning was almost a carbon copy of yesterday in that while I was looking for Beauty she appeared on Mercury and left before I got there. lol  I found her on the base of Mercury after she went hunting and brought her prey there to eat.

I parked down in the hole(Aqueduct St.) and took some pics and video from next to the Thomson Reuters building.  The sun was behind Beauty so I needed to go up on the Broad St. Bridge to get the sun behind me for better pics.

Beauty hopped up to the green part of the base with her prey before flying off with it to the northwest.

I drove to the Andrews St. Bridge to see if she went to the Frontier Communications Tower with it and just as I pulled over Beauty flew off the platform without her stash. She flew over to the northeast side of OCSR and landed on the top ibeam with nothing in her talons so I assumed she cached the leftovers on the platform. I then took a drive over to Bragdon St. where I observed the Beautyful one for a few minutes as she got settled in for a rest.

I opted to go check Brighton(BS) as I figured Beauty wouldn’t be leaving OCSR any time soon. When I rounded the back of BS and came around to the east side I spotted BST on the roof near the tree that grows up there. He was looking really good in the bright sunshine as he preened himself.

While I was enjoying his company Miss Pigott flew in from the north and landed on a window ledge on the east extension. She didn’t stay long before flying around the east side checking BST out and then coming to rest on the east extension roof.

Pigott and BST could see each other and seemed very relaxed as they both preened their feathers. Pigott flew back down to another east extension window ledge and then around to the front of the building before returning to the roof spot she was on before on the east extension. One last time she flew off and was joined by BST. They did a little flying for me right there before leaving the area going west together in a relaxed flight out of sight. They didn’t return so I ended my watch at that time. Gee, do you think I was smiling having seen Beauty,BST, Miss Pigott and the sun on my watch this morning!?  🙂
