No wonder she was losing altitude with that mega-brunch in her talons. What a sight that must have been. Who else was there to see it, Yarak?

Bobbie I was on the Broad St. bridge by myself texting when suddenly to my right maybe 15 -20 ft. at eye level was Beauty. She had a whole lot of white in her talons and their were gulls following her and on both sides of her. She was moving quite slow and losing altitude as she flew down river. I lost sight of her as she passed the Main St. bridge. I jumped in the truck and first stopped on the Main st. bridge but didn't see her from there. I then proceeded to the Andrews st. bridge and got out to walk along the river but the work crews showed up and I had to leave cuz they blocked the road off for maintenance. I then went to a street by the Radisson Hotel and parked. I had seen a bunch of gulls carrying on over on the grass so I went to investigate thinking Beauty was there with her catch. No luck, one of them had garbage or something and they were squabbling over it. I walked both sides of the river looking for her on the ground cuz I don't think she could have gotten up on anything to eat.
   Now in response to the last tweet Carol and I heard Archer before he caught up to the RTH and smacked it good. He went behind the apartment and Beauty flew out from on top of the apartment almost at the same time. Carol and I think she must have eaten what she could of the gull and then cached the rest on the roof and perhaps the RTH was fixing on having it for brunch! Whatever the case may be, it was another exciting morning for this falcon watcher.
