3/5/2010, 10:45AM During a morning site inspection / meeting I observed with two others a pair of Adult Peregrine Falcons on the Fire Island Inlet Bridge (southern most bridge). Female adult was perched on the edge of the nest box on the substructure of the south bound lane, and the male was on the top of the main span structure on the southern side of the northern roadway. I observed both birds in those locations for about 10 mins before the female flew south to the top of the RM water tower, the male followed soon after perching on the radio tower located at the USCG station. Viewed from the pier at the State Parks Police Office on the south west of RM state park.
