Peregrine falcons making DC their new home

There's an interesting article on the Washington Post website about falcons choosing to live in urban areas, such as the Woodrow Wilson Bridge as opposed to the countryside. Apparently the bridge has quite an active ecosystem just below the rumble of the thousands of vehicles traveling the bridge everyday.

The photo above is from Paula Sullivan's website where she has a bunch of good photos of the falcons. A couple of weeks ago the falcons laid three eggs. If the raccoons don't get to them first, we may be looking forward to seeing more falcons in the area.
