Reply to Steve-O:

Well, they’re still working on the Freeport Bridge, so it’s unlikely there will be Peregrines there this year (seems like they’ve been working on that crappy bridge since it was built)! And I do have someone who drives across it all the time keeping an eye out for PEFAs.

Nathalie, yes there’s a pair at Westinghouse Bridge. That bridge is not on the “needed” list because, as it says above, there are already volunteers at that site.

Isn’t there a peregrine nest at the Westinghouse bridge (rt. 30)? I saw a falcon there last fall.

Thanks for the suggestion.
There are 2 eagle nests — at Hays on the Mon, and near the Hulton Bridge on the Allegheny.

Since there’s a nest at the Tarentum bridge, it may be a good idea to keep an eye on the Freeport bridge in the future. It’s another high span over the Allegheny River a few miles north of Tarentum.

And I had heard of a Bald Eagle nest being built off of route 28 somewhere, would you know anything about this?
