Pennsylvania Game Commission and National Aviary staff members on Tuesday checked on a nest of three peregrine falcon chicks perched, with their mother nearby, on the 37th floor of the Gulf Tower in Downtown Pittsburgh.
The chicks were taken inside so veterinarians could examine them and attach a leg band to help identify them later.
There are seven such nests in the Pittsburgh area.
All the chicks in the Gulf Tower nest were healthy, staff members said.
