Charlie,

Last year according to Lisa Lister the Perigrine Falcons nested in an
Osprey nest that was on the upriver side of the bridge near the fishing
pier.  Lisa saw them feeding the young.  By the time I heard about it the
young had already fledged and I saw three falcons (at least one fledgling)
on the St. Mary's side of the Thomas Johnson Bridge.

Good Birding,
