The female was flying around, just west of the clock tower near the National Grid power substation on South Canal St.  She landed on one of the silver lightning protector poles and perched for a bit prior to lifting off in flight.  The light was beautiful but it was getting late and sunset was only 20 minutes away.  Enjoy an exciting sequence of images of the female taking off in flight by going to the link below!
