Dorothy isn’t the only falcon who’s making the news.  Yesterday the Tarentum Bridge peregrines were featured in the Valley News Dispatch.

The PA Game Commission found no evidence of a nest at the Tarentum Bridge this month, but there are peregrines there so why no nest?  Steve Gosser’s photos from May 9 helped solve the mystery.  Read more here in Mary Ann Thomas’ article at TribLive.

Meanwhile, Dorothy couldn’t help making the news when Kara Holsopple interviewed me on WYEP’s Allegheny Front: Dorothy Becomes a Mother Again.

 

p.s. On Friday one of Dorothy’s remaining three eggs broke to reveal a dead chick, not fully developed.  She checked to make sure it was dead and then took it away from the nest.
