The Plan to Demolish SF's Old Bay Bridge Could Be Derailed By Birds

To us, the bridge is a way to get across the water, but to cormorants in San Francisco Bay, the old Bay Bridge is home sweet home. And the 800 protected birds currently nesting there are not very keen on moving to the new Bay Bridge span--despite its shiny $700,000 bird "condos." If Caltrans can't lure the cormorants away in time, then the plan to demolish the old Bay Bridge , already behind schedule, could fall off the rails entirely.
