This mornings watch was short but sweet! I arrived earlier than usual so I could walk over to under the elevator shaft of the OCSR building. Yesterdays watch with Joyce included seeing a falcon fly up in there so we wanted to confirm that someone was sleeping there at night. I'm sorry to say I...

This one needs a visual assist...
OK-the white structure on the right side of the building-once upon a time there was an exterior elevator that went up & down there. The larger structure at the top is the "elevator shaft" the falcons fly into.

No, you can use it around the clock.

Actually there is still a working elevator that uses this elevator shaft. In fact, the elevator was up inside the top section yesterday.

Well, learn something new every day. I thought it was as defunct as the restaurant. Thanks!

I remember losing my purse many times in that revolving restaurant (the OCSR). That elevator was quite "cool" in its time in Rochester. Since then I think the revolving "scene" was home to an advertising agency and is now home to a female attorney's office -- if I am not mistaken. So, Carol, you are saying that that elevator is still in use? I'd love to take a ride on that! Is it thought that falcons are sleeping or nesting in there? Where are they sleeping on these frigid nights we are having?

Yes, Margaret. I've seen the elevator go up and down many times while watching. Heard a lot of stories of lost purses inside the old Changing Scenes Restaurant too. :lol:
We're not exactly sure where the Falcons are roosting at night. Falcons seem to like going up inside the elevator shaft where they can perch very easily and get out of the bad weather. Mariah and Kaver used it to hunt from and to store food.
