Pefa at Main and N. Goodman smokestack?

[marcoon]

This is my first post but I wanted to report what I saw yesterday.
At 1:00 pm yesterday I was stopped at a light at N. Goodman and Main St in Rochester.  I looked up in time to see what looked like a pefa landing - size and shape seemed to match. Pigeons flew everywhere.  Pefa (?) landed on the smokestack at the southeast corner in a warehouse complex, with the building next to it named Antique (sp?) Treasures.  I work nearby there so I'll keep my eyes open for it. I'll have to keep my binoculars handy for the next time.

Congrats on your first post, marcoon. I think you are describing the smoke stack at Village Gate. It's not very far from Downtown. Beauty could have stopped by.

Thanks marcoon for posting your Pefa sighting. I never heard of this place but certainly Beauty knows.

There also have been sightings of another falcon in the Elmwood area near Goodman (referred to in the past as the Brighton falcon).  That is another possibility!!

Hello Marcoon!  Thanks for reporting this possible Peregrine sighting.  Let us know if you see him/her again.

Hello Marcoon!  Welcome to the forum 
How wonderful that you may have seen Beauty or maybe yet another peregrine in the area!
YAY !!

Thanks for the welcome!  I'm a lurker but posted two years ago about a pair of peregrines we saw at our hotel in San Diego.  I went past the smokestack today (in Rochester).  It is a shorter smokestack north of the Village Gate smokestack.  It sits right near E. Main St next to the Anitiek Treasures building.  It's 1.5 miles nearly due east from the Times Square Bldg, as the peregrine flies! No birds of any sort flying today, but snow and cold probably kept them down.  I'll keep watching and report anything that seems curious.   ~Marian

As I live less than 1/8 mile from Main & N. Goodman (and next to Village Gate), I will keep a look-out. Larry O
