wnyfalconfan (Joyce): BS- Both were on the south side roof, then window scrape echupping of course. DC left, P stayed in scrape. 5 min later P flew out with prey.
wnyfalconfan (Joyce): DC made several low swoops over grassy area NW of bldg. 15 minutes later he retrieved his prey. Whew, glad it's Sunday and no moving cars.
