This was on the CPF site   Sad


!!! 2010 Update - and Sad news to report.
September 30, 2010 - New York - Prescott-Ogdensburg Bridge
CPF Postmaster Reports:

      Sept. 2010

From Mary Beth Washburton - New York state - Very sad that 3 of the 4 chicks did not survive, BUT the one that did had quite a journey. The surviving chick was rescued from the river when it was about a week away from fledging. She spent two nights in rehab and I took her back to the bridge and she made it!!

      Postmaster Notes:
      While this high fledgling mortality is a typical happening at most bridge nesting sites where the nests are directly over large spans of water, it is still never the less heart braking to see this happen year after year at these same sites. While many man made structures can offer an incredibly good nesting situation, some (as in this case) are not so safe. As always, a big part of the equation and success is as we have all said, location, location, location!
