Whoa, peregrine falcons under the West Seattle Bridge? The West Seattle Bridge has been home to baby peregrine falcons (called eyasses!) and their parents for most years since 2005. We recently helped local ornithologists get up close and personal with this year's batch of baby peregrine falcons as they study bird transportation (or as the bird experts put it, the peregrine falcons' movement and migration habits). Our own SDOT Roadway Structures engineering and bridge crew team assisted Urban Raptor Conservancy President Patti Loesche and Vice-President Ed Deal to observe and band the baby birds of the resident peregrine falcons at the West Seattle Bridge.
