By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

Don’t have much time to do a report tonight, but wanted to leave you with a summary and some pics from today’s Watch.

Again, I got a late start.  Sure do miss my early morning Falcon Watches.  Oh, well, we work with what we have.

After checking KP and still finding it falcon-free, I decided to check out the BS location first today (11:30ish am).  It was cloudy with snow mixed with rain the whole time I was there.  The winds really began to pick up and it got very cold.

I was happy to see both Pigott & BST on the east end of the building.  During the time I was there, they both went on multiple hunt-runs, but returned empty taloned each time.  Finally at approximately 2:00 pm, first BST and then Pigott took off heading SE.  I waited to see if they would return and they did not.  So, I went searching in the direction they headed.  I had no luck finding either of them, but I can tell you that there are lots and lots of pigeons out in that direction.  Good hunting grounds for sure.

On my way to visit the downtown area and to hopefully find Ms. Beauty, I checked the BS location one more time.  They had still not returned.

Onward to a very busy downtown area.  The monster trucks were at the Blue Cross Arena and there were lots of people coming to see them.  I saw a small boy carrying a very large toy monster truck in his hands and his mom was carrying a checkered flag!  lol

I could not find any parking on the now snow-less Broad St Bridge, but I slowed down enough to check out the area.  No Beauty in sight.  My next stop was the OCSR elevator shaft.  That’s where she was, sitting on the north ledge around 3:00 pm.  I stayed for awhile watching her before leaving for home.

Another good day!  All three current Rochester falcons found!  No fellow Rochester Falcon Watchers seen today.

I’ll leave y0u with a bunch of pics from today’s Watch.  If you would like to see a large version of a picture, just click on it!  Thanks!
