Three healthy peregrine falcon chicks have hatched in a nesting box atop the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, a sign of conservation success.
Peregrine falcons, nearly wiped out in the 1960s, continue to be endangered due to pesticides, with conservation efforts seeking to protect the species.
MTA Bridges and Tunnels provide nesting boxes but respect the falcons' autonomy, allowing them to mate for life and hatch young in familiar nests.
Brooklyn, with its 2.6 million residents, holds a rich history and community spirit, remaining 'cool' for longtime residents who have shaped the borough.
