A Monday Evening Falcon Watch – 1/7/13 – Falcons Seen Today: Beauty, Pigott & BST

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

My Tweets from Today:

4:10 pm – “DT. Ms Beauty is tucked up inside the OCSR elevator shaft. South ledge.”

4:30 pm – “BS. Both Pigott and BST here at east end. P is on the SE corner and BST is on the tree ledge. All 3 current Roch falcons accounted for.”

4:50 pm – “BS. P joined BST on the tree ledge about 6 windows to his right. He then took off & flew around the front of the bldg. P now preening.”

Before I begin my evening Watch Report, I forgot to mention yesterday in my report that I met Tom F. at the BS location.  He told me he reads all of the Rochester Falcon Watch reports and since he lived near the BS location he decided to come over to check it out.  He saw me in my car with camera and binocs and assumed he had found the right spot.  🙂  He had seen BST on the tree ledge and I pointed out where Pigott was on the SE corner.  It was very nice meeting you Tom.  Hope to see you again!

Now for my evening report.  I arrived downtown a little before 4:00 pm and after looking around a bit, I found Ms Beauty tucked up inside the OCSR elevator shaft on the south ledge.  I stayed to watch her for a little while.  She seemed settled, so I decided to check out the BS location before the sun went down.

At 4:30 pm, I found both Pigott & BST at the east end of the building.  She was on the SE corner and he was on the tree ledge.  Pigott flew over to the tree ledge about 6 windows to the right of BST.  They stayed like that for awhile and then BST took off and flew around the front (northside) of the building.  I couldn’t see where he went.

A little after 5 pm, Pigott flew to her nighttime roost on the NE end of the building, five windows down.  I circled the building a couple times, but could not find where BST had gone.  I had to get going, so I missed seeing if he joined Pigott or not.

It is always a good day when I see all three current Rochester Falcons!

I’ll leave you with a couple more pics from by travels today.  Be sure to click on any picture you would like to see in a larger format.  Thanks!

This first picture is the sunset tonight at the BS location.  Lovely.

The 2nd picture is of the Warner Bldg on St Paul St.  It is the building that I took a picture of the beautiful architecture a few days ago.  Did you know it was one of the first buildings in Rochester to have electricity?  Love this building.  They are building loft apartments in there right now and if you were on the west side of the building and high, you’d have a great view of the downtown falcons.
