It's triplets! Another successful peregrine falcon nesting on Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge


On Saturday morning, the Pennsylvania Game Commission and local volunteers used a "bucket boat" to reach a trio of three wide-eyed falcons, not quite ready to fly and smothered in down.
After being hoisted in a boom provided by Harcon Corp., a bridge design consulting firm from Strasburg, Arthur McMorris, the Game Commission's peregrine falcon program coordinator, was able to reach the nest, located on top of one of the arches under the deck of the bridge.
