It's time once again to keep an eye the International Bridge FalCam!

The International Bridge Administration announced via Twitter this week that three Peregrine Falcon eggs were spotted in one of the nest boxes located high above the St. Marys River on the bridge's arch. A bridge maintenance employee snapped this image of the expectant parent.

Fans can watch the nest box by checking out the live Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge FalCam here.

About the International Bridge nest boxes
Peregrine falcon nest boxes have been installed on the International Bridge since 2010 on both the U.S. and Canadian arches. Peregrines have been active at the International Bridge since 1999. The nest boxes are an ongoing commitment by the IBA to provide our falcons a habitat, as they like to nest on tall buildings, smokestacks and bridges. The peregrine falcon is listed as an endangered species in Michigan, protected by state law.
