A pair of peregrine falcons has returned to the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge this spring, where birds have been living for many seasons. This year they have laid eggs in a nest box on the U.S. side of the bridge, after nesting on the Canadian side last year.
Nest boxes for the peregrines have been installed on the bridge since 2010, placed at locations that had evidence of past nesting activity. Last year, the resident pair of peregrine falcons hatched four chicks. Over the years, the site has been a great success, hatching 39 falcon chicks since IBA staff started counting the birds, Hansen said.
A team from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources typically bands the birds at the IBA mid-summer. Color-coded bands attached to the legs of young birds allow scientists to track the movements, reproductive behavior, and population growth of the falcons. Peregrines are a migratory species; pictures of at least one of the birds banded at the International Bridge have been captured as far south as the Dominican Republic.
