A Peaceful Late Afternoon Falcon Watch – 1/25/13
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
After what happened at the BS location yesterday, I was happy to have a peaceful watch today.
As usual, it was cold and it was snowing when I left work today. I arrived downtown a little before 4:00 pm. After checking things out from the Andrews St Bridge, I made my way over to the OCSR and found Beauty up inside the elevator shaft on the south ledge.

The snow made it hard to see her, but she was definitely there. Since she seemed settled, I headed over to the BS location. After yesterday, I wanted to make sure all was well there.
At 4:30 pm I found Pigott on the west side of the building near the area we call the nook. Close by, was another smaller falcon on the south side of the west extension. After checking my pictures, I am pretty sure this was BST.

At 5:00 pm, Pigott did a whole bunch of stretching and a poop and she was off. She flew a short distance to land on the window below BST.

She didn’t stay long. At 5:10 pm, I found her on the north side of the east extension, on the third window down. This was their nighttime roost.

Just before I left at 5:15 pm, Brian texted the following: “Wandering BD. Falcon still in E shaft. Roads R getting slippery. B safe.”
All three current Rochester Falcons were seen on my watch, making it a very good day.
