Happy New Year!!!

It's time for our 2024 Toast to the Falcons!

Shaky's chair arrives at 8:54 am. It was 28F.



The watchers are arriving. On her way, Carol P stops at the parking lot on the side of the Times Square Bldg and spots Neander on the SW corner of the Wilder Bldg.

The watchers gather at the entrance of the Blue Cross Arena on Broad St. We decided to meet at 9 am, which is a little earlier than we usually meet. It was bitter cold this morning.




At 9:30 am, we had some excitement!  The local pigeons were very agitated, flying this way and that. Dana called out that 2 falcons flew over us heading south. Soon after this, both Nova and Neander returned. They were tandem hunting. Nova came very close to catching a pigeon right in front of us, over the corner of Broad and State St. After missing the pigeon, they both zipped around the building in front of us. Nova landed on the SW corner of the Wilder Bldg and Neander on the Wilder Chimney. It was very nice of them to both join us!

10 Rochester Falcon Watchers were there to toast today. Shaky, Pat, Dana, Lou, Larry O, Linda K, Tim, Lynda, Joyce and Carol P.

Happy New Year everyone!

When I went downtown yesterday morning, I found Neander on the old Rochester Riverside Hotel. He was on the west side, south end. After awhile he took off zipping around the building heading east.

Like I couldn't tell that a heard of falcons were inside the nest box earlier this morning.  Let's go back in time and find out when they visited.



The herd was actually only one falcon, Neander. He flew in at 7:49 am.  He was looking straight up. Was something flying overhead?



Both Nova and Neander were on the Wilder Chimney together at 11:25 am.



High wind warning tomorrow afternoon and evening.
