From Rochester Falcon Watcher - Dana M.
I missed the morning sightings of two adult peregrine falcons.- I arrived downtown around 1:00pm with no falcons in sight.- It was quiet for the 1st 2 hours of watch.- Around 3:00pm a falcon was finally seen flying over the HSBC, Xerox, Midtown area.- From my pictures, this bird...

So what is the current falcon scorecard?

1  Beauty (seen today on cam)
2  Unbanded tiercel (seen today on cam)
3  Unknown subadult (photographed today by Dana)
4  Mariah (not seen for a while, but probably somewhere in the area
5  Archer (not seen since last year, but possibly returning)


Anyone else?

Paul

Yep, a Falcon was seen last weekend on the apartments just north of the Kodak Tower.  Not sure if it was a Tiercel or not.  Possibly the one that finally made it into the downtown area?

I saw a picture...was it yours?  All I remember is I looked at it & thought tiercel.
