I checked KP before, during and after work today.  No luck finding any Peregrines.  But I did find another bird eating what appeared to be a small bird on top of a telephone pole.

Interestingly, when the Crow finished, it took the remainder and rolled it up into a ball, so that it would be easier to carry away.  Which it did.

Continuing my late afternoon watch, I checked all around the LT location.  No Peregrines there either.  Next stop DT.

From Kodak Office, where I found no falcons, I could see Beauty on the west end of the top IBeam of the OCSR.  I decided to check out the rest of the downtown area to make sure that there were no tiercels (male falcons) hanging out.  After driving around and not finding another Peregrine, I headed over to the Broad St Bridge and watched Beauty for awhile.

She did not move from this spot, but she was very interested in the small visitor’s on one of her favorite perches.  They were very lucky that she had probably eaten earlier.

On my way over to the BS location to check on Pigott, I spotted this pigeon on the Ford St Bridge.  It just caught my eye because of the beautiful coloring.

At the BS location, I found Pigott on the west end of the building near the SW corner, just above the cubby hole.  She was very actively turning her head in all directions keeping an eye on her territory.  All was quiet here, and I could find no other falcons on the building, so I headed back downtown.  Beauty remained in her spot on the OCSR.

Both resident females were on territory and no other falcons were found during my watch.  All of us continue to wait.

Goodnight everyone!  Remember to click on any pics you would like to see in a larger format.
