A Peregrine Falcon chick that still has baby fuzz on the top of its head, looks out from a service platform under the west end of the West Seattle Bridge where it landed after its first flight last week. The chick decided that was enough flying for one day and laid down to take a nap after its maiden flight. The Falcon baby came from a man made nest installed under the bridge by the Department of Transportation about 20 years ago. The Falcon parents recently had three chicks. One landed on West Marginal Way after it tried to fly from its nest and was killed by a vehicle. The second chick landed on the low bridge and was taken to PAWS until it is ready to fly, and this chick, waiting for its wings to mature so it can safely fly, hunt, and survive.
