Over Mothers? Day weekend, a pair of peregrine falcons living atop a building in downtown Manchester hatched two eggs?the first peregrines born in an urban setting in northern New England. Chris Martin is senior biologist with the NH Audubon Society, and he?s been observing the peregrines. He says that tall buildings make a fairly inviting habitat for the birds of prey.
