Scudder Falls Bridge makes a secure sanctuary for pair of Pennsylvania peregrine

[Donna]

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.

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.
