The Mid-Hudson Bridge is host to newly hatched peregrine falcons for the 17th consecutive year.
“We are fortunate that our facilities have been so successful in helping re-establish such a beautiful and important species,” said Joseph Ruggiero, the executive director of the New York State Bridge Authority.
These chicks are the 45th, 46th and 47th peregrines fledged from the nesting box at the bridge. The boxes, installed at all five of the authority’s Hudson Valley crossings in the late 1980s, are designed to encourage the endangered species to remain in the region.
