I arrived downtown at approximately 3:50 pm.  I had just received Shaky’s tweet that Beauty was back on Mercury’s money bag, so I headed right for Broad St.  I could see her up there with the sun shining on her.  I turned my car around to park at Falcon Watch Central on Broad St near Exchange (in front of the Times Square Bldg) and got out of my car to get some pictures.  She was gone.  Last night I got 1 picture before she left Mercury, but not tonight.  I hadn’t even seen where she went but I had my suspicions.  I was right.

I drove over to the OCSR building and looked up  inside the elevator shaft.  Yep!  There she was.  Beauty was up inside the elevator shaft, this time on the south ledge.  I believe this is where she is staying overnight, but I can’t be 100% sure.

My next stop was the BS location, before it got dark.  Pigott was on the NW corner.  I did a quick check of the rest of the building and had no luck finding BST.  Back to Pigott I went.

At 4:50 pm, Pigott took off heading north, fast.  I lost sight of her behind the trees, but not for long.  She came back and landed on the NE corner of the building.  I made my way to that side of the building to get a better view of Pigott.  It wasn’t long before BST zoomed in from the north.  Had she gone out to greet him?  BST flew in and landed on the top window tucked into the NE extension where we believe they spend their evenings.  They greeted each other with loud ee-chups filling the air around me.

Pigott ended up knocking BST off of the top window and taking it for herself.  BST ended up on the window below her.  Just before it got dark, I was able to see Pigott run to the left side of the windowsill and out of my view.  BST remained on the right side of the window where I could see him.

Well it seemed that I had seen all three Rochester Falcons tucking into there nighttime spots, so I said my goodbyes and headed home.  All three seen today makes it a very good day!
