My watch began at 10am and the skies over Kodak tower were dark and threatening rain. I took my position at the corner of Bru and spotted all of our GALS and 1 adult about the Kodak complex. I was joined by Paul who engaged me in a lively conversation of the wildlife of High Falls and the correlation to us lowly humans who are resigned to simply watch in awe of Nature’s wonder.

There were numerous flights between the stacks and tower with Mariah doing gentle figure eights in front of the tower showing her girls the joy of the breeze as the clouds broke to a blue sky with wispy clouds.

Mariah climbed then stooped and snatched a non suspecting pigeon from about 10 feet above State street and took it up to the corner of a building; Grey and white feathers on the breeze as 3, maybe all 4 GALS converged for brunch. All was quiet for a while after that with many “Whatcha-lookin-at’s” from all the construction workers in the area got my explanation of the Falcons-not Hawks-as many of them believed I was watching.

A bit of time later, a juvie came soaring from over head with prey in her talons, followed by Mariah. She landed on the middle building with no windows and tore wildly into her prize. I don’t know if it was from a transfer, or her own catch, but Mariah stood quietly guarding her while she alone took her fill while the other juvies kacked their displeasure of being left out of the snack.

Our GALS were very visible and vocal the majority of the time I was there and I was later joined by Carol, Sue, Shaky and Larry about lunch time.
