One of the Peregrine falcons hatched out in Rochester in 2015 has been found dead on the Irondequoit Bay Bridge.

The Falcon Watch forum on Rfalconcam.com says Genesee, a male, was found dead on the bridge on Saturday. State Department of Environmental Conservation officials said the two-year-old falcon apparently swooped in front of a car while pursuing another bird.

Genesee had recently been seen with a mate and was apparently living in the area of the Coast Guard station.
