Title: Scudder Falls Bridge makes a secure sanctuary for pair of Pennsylvania peregrine Post by: Donna on 21-May-11, 10:38:59 PM LOWER MAKEFIELD, Pa. — The concrete undercarriage of one of the area’s busiest bridges doesn’t exactly sound like the coziest place to settle down and raise a family.
But that hasn’t stopped peregrine falcons from returning, year after year, to the Scudder Falls Bridge to nest and hatch their offspring. http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2011/05/scudder_falls_bridge_makes_a_s.html (http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2011/05/scudder_falls_bridge_makes_a_s.html) Story and pic Title: Re: Scudder Falls Bridge makes a secure sanctuary for pair of Pennsylvania peregrine Post by: jmstruwe on 23-May-11, 07:55:47 AM Funny, I live and work right in this area and have for years, and this is the first I have heard of peregrines nesting under this bridge or the others mentioned in the article. The only birds that make the news are a pair of red tail hawks who nest on a Philadelphia parking garage and make life difficult for people who want to park their cars. I guess the falcons are better behaved. :falcon:
