falconstars

What a fabulous evening of watching it was. The GALS were having fun playing with each other high in the sky over Downtown Rochester. I captured it on video, watch it here.

The juvies were downtown near HSBC again today. In the morning around 9:30 AM they were flying all over. I saw four juvies in the air. In the evening I could only find one. She was very vocal, I think she was calling for room service.

The falcons weren't flying the gorge and we could see them downtown over Xerox, Midtown and HSBC. Joyce, Carol, Kathy O and I headed down there, Jeanne was already there. I am so happy that we made the decision to go downtown, it was a fantastic watch.

Grace was on the receiving end of a food exchange. She was so happy about it that she flew around for a bit with her food. She must have been tired out because when she finally landed on the bridge supports she didn't eat for quite a while, she seemed a little agitated too.

Jeanne showed up during this time and so did a new watcher, William.

We were lucky enough to see a Comorant catch a fish. Grace landed on the brewery, a Great Blue Heron landed on some rocks in the gorge and of course there was more flying. We thought we lost Carol, but then we spotted her over on the observation deck.

One of the adults flies over the gorge and all the juvies fly up to see if there's any food.

This segment was shot looking north while on the sidewalk leading from the observation deck to the pedestrian bridge.
