BEAKING NEWS: Bridge falcon babies are here!

On April 23, 2019, the International Bridge Administration announced via Twitter that a pair of Peregrine falcons had once again nested in the specialized box atop the International Bridge. Not only this, but the feathery pair were also soon to be parents as two eggs were spotted in the nest.

Today, the eggs hatched almost one year to the day as last year’s babies arrived on May 31, 2018. 

Fans can enjoy watching the new parents by checking out the live Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge Falcon Camera – or FalCam – here.

According to the International Bridge Administration:

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.
