This Week in Jobs Pittsburgh: Birdwatching

Hi! You’re reading the Pittsburgh edition of This Week in Jobs (TWIJ), a weekly newsletter written by our team at Technical.ly in partnership with InnovatePGH and the Pittsburgh Innovation District. Each week we put together for you a slate of news and fresh job opportunities in the ‘burgh. If you’re not already subscribed, you can do so here.

Looking for a little drama in your life? Look no further than the top of the University of Pittsburgh’s “Cathy” (as the kids call it). For over 20 years, state threatened peregrine falcons have been nesting atop of the historic building, but this mating season’s drama is sure to ruffle a few tail feathers.

With multiple males vying to mate with the nest’s female lead, Morela, the coverage sounds like a soap opera playing out in real time, and you can even watch the 24/7 livestream to keep up with your favorite characters.

While birdwatching is all kinds of dramatic, you don’t have to wing it when it comes to your job search. Peep below and find a spot to build your next nest.
