Falcons on International Bridge
Four peregrine falcon chicks – three female and one male – successfully hatched on Sault Ste. Marie's International Bridge.
Falcons hatch at International Bridge
A pair of regular visitors to the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge have made the trip again this year – and they're staying to raise their family.
Karl Hansen, bridge engineer for the International Bridge Administration (IBA), reported that pair of peregrine falcons have successfully nested atop the bridge between the U.S. and Canada this spring, hatching four chicks.
New buoy will monitor South Shore
When you're out on Lake Superior, wave and weather data can sometimes be hard to receive when you need it.
A new project involving data-collecting buoys is aiming to change that. A solar-powered wave buoy will float indefinitely out on Lake Superior to directly collect wave and weather data across the lake's south shore. Well, half of it anyway.
