Former Tarentum(Pa.) falcon feeds 1st hatched chick
'Hope,' the Cathedral of Learning peregrine falcon, with her first nestling and two unhatched eggs. Hope moved to the University of Pittsburgh landmark after previously living in the superstructure of the Tarentum Bridge.

Cathedral nest soap opera
It's been a strange year at the Cathedral: Hope, an experienced mother who raised two clutches at the Tarentum Bridge, left her newest mate earlier this year for “E2,” a recent widower whose prolific mate, the long-reigning “Dorothy” — mother of 43 — presumably died.
