He has been released successfully a second time and so far has not been in trouble again. His nestmates have all fledged and gone on to make their own livings. Of the remaining three pairs in Massachusetts, the pair in Springfield relocated from their traditional office building ledge and produced one healthy chick from a nest under a bridge spanning the Connecticut River. The downtown Boston pair nested on the MacCormack Post Office Building and fledged three chicks. The nest at the Braga Bridge in Fall River failed, likely due to weather-related problems.
Falcons adapt easily to urban life.
All four nesting pairs in Massachusetts are found on buildings or bridges. Boston, Springfield, and Fall River are located in migration paths, allowing the falcons to feed both on migrating birds as well as birds that live in the city year-round.
