SAULT STE. MARIE, MI – Peregrine falcons recently laid three eggs atop the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge.
Karl Hansen, bridge engineer for the International Bridge Administration, reported that a pair of peregrine falcons successfully nested atop the bridge between the U.S. and Canada earlier this spring, continuing a long run of success at the location.
Nest boxes for the peregrines have been installed since 2010. Last year, the same pair of peregrine falcons successfully nested on the bridge, hatching one chick. Over the years, the site has hatched 30 falcon chicks.
