A blast from the past Falcon Report from 7/15/09 by my friend (who we miss seeing very much) and Fellow Falcon Watcher Carla P.
10 seconds with Mariah and an hour chasing her around town!
My daily ritual when I leave work:
1) Pull out of the Civic Center Garage, turn right, head east on Broad Street,
cross the bridge, make a U-turn, park on the bridge and check out the TSB nest
box for A/B.
2) Turn right onto Exchange Blvd. and head north to the K Tower, check south
side launch pad while driving. Turn right onto Platt Street, check the
pedestrian bridge for Watchers, scan the east gorge wall for Mariah, turn left
on Brown Street, cross State Street and turn right into the little alley to
check out the north side of the K Tower. Then I turn left behind the Tower to
check the west side, left again to check the south side, and so on and so on,
etc., etc., etc.!
Today, as I pulled into the alley to check the north side, I saw Mariah pulling
up for a landing on the east side of the launch pad. With absolute glee, I
threw my car into gear and sped off to circle the K Tower and get my Mariah fix
for the day. Unfortunately, by the time I made my way back to the east side,
Mariah had either taken off or was playing Hide-and-Seek! I continued my frantic
search, and finally caught a glimpse of her flying east toward the gorge, but I
lost sight of her as she flew behind a building south of Platt Street. I checked
the east gorge wall one more time, but I couldn't find her - which certainly
doesn't mean she wasn't there. (Finding falcons on the gorge wall is NOT one of
my strengths!)
So there you have it, my 10 second Mariah Watch and an hour chasing after her!!!
Carla P.

That was in response to my tweet... B seemed agitated then took off toward Xerox 19:17. Back at 19:22 & still on alert. Did you guys see anything? Ei - It was quiet and raining when I left after leaving my last tweet. Didn't see anything that may have caused Beauty coming out of the nest box. |
