PEREGRINE FALCON WATCHES BRIDGE

 

PEREGRINE FALCON WATCHES BRIDGE

For the last few years, a Peregrine Falcon has taken up residence in the South Tower of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge.

A special nesting enclosure was installed high up on the South Bridge Tower several years ago, to encourage Falcons to make a home there. Now one has, and in fact, has mated and produced a baby falcon there. This effort was made as sort of a last ditch attempt to bring a natural method of pigeon control to the Bridge and surrounding area. Here, the Falcon stands on one of the support brackets of his home.
