: Meet New York City’s newest peregrine falcon, born atop the Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge three weeks ago.
The freshly hatched chick was tagged by the city’s resident bird expert Chris Nadareski on Wednesday, MTA officials said. It’s Nadareski’s annual duty, as the Department of Environmental Protection’s leading bird person, to scale the city’s bridges and count and tag freshly hatched peregrine chicks nesting with their parent falcon, who tend to mate for life.
In addition to the Gil Hodges hatchling, Nadareski has documented 21 baby peregrines across seven other nesting locations this busy breeding season; including at New York Presbyterian Hospital, the Met Life Building, the David Dinkins Municipal Building and the George Washington Bridge, according to the DEP.
