The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge welcomed some new feathery residents on Friday.
The MTA says three baby peregrine falcon chicks hatched on the specially built nesting box on top of the Brooklyn tower of the bridge.
The hatchlings, named Genevieve, Marcella and Skyforger, are being monitored to help conserve peregrine falcons in New York.
The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge has been used for the state's nesting program since 1983.
