4 peregrine falcon chicks hatch in Cathedral of Learning nest

PITTSBURGH — High above the crowds in Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft, the team of a beloved peregrine falcon pair was growing.

The National Aviary says falcons Carla and Ecco welcomed four hatchlings in their nest on the side of the Cathedral of Learning.

The first chick hatched late on Friday evening. The next two hatched on Saturday, and the final one hatched on Monday afternoon.

This is the first time Carla has been a mother to four!

Carlo and Ecco will now be busy around the clock, feeding and caring for their chicks.
