Hilliard Blvd. Bridge Field Trip June 24, 2007
Report | Photos |
We had a GREAT trip today. The peregrines at Hilliard Road were nowhere to be seen, so we traveled to the parking lot of Sokolowski’s University Inn by the downtown I-90 bridge. Chris and Chad Saladin gave us a wonderful peregrine tour featuring Newt (female from Wisconsin) and a male and their three female offspring. We spotted them on the bridges and gravel piles, and then went down into the flats by the gravel piles for a better look. They flew around and posed for us, so we had a great look. The little ones have been flying for about a week now, but they still rely on the parents for food. Hilliard Rd. Bridge Species list I-90 Bridge/Cleveland flats Species list |
