Broadway Bridge Peregrine Falcon Family

The Broadway Bridge Peregrine Falcon family can be difficult to watch, since the bridge has two towers.  This makes it difficult to see everyone at once and figure out how many there are.

Luckily, after a rainstorm early Saturday evening all five could easily be counted and identified.  While I was there one of the parents feed one of the youngsters.  The parents don’t bring the fledglings their food, but instead make them chase them and make them catch the food in mid-flight.  It’s amazing to watch.  (The 1 train prevented me from taking photographs of the feeding unfortunately.)
