This is a really cool link on the top of a building in San Jose. The eggs just hatched within the last day or so.

If that doesn't work, go to the city's home page and just follow the links

They look so sweet! Too bad they are on top of City Hall and not out in a more natural habitat.

Thanks for the link!

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Apparently there are a lot of peregrine falcon cams out there. A google search turned up about 6 of them.
About their nests...

>>The nest itself is little more than a shallow scrape, shaped by the birds in soil or accumulated debris. Wildlife biologists frequently provide a gravel-filled tray for city-nesting birds to use. <<

Thanks for the link! A lot of cities are bringing in falcons to help keep down pigeon populations. Yeah, the falcon isn't living in a natural environment, but they are providing natural pest control.

That is way cool! We have lots of red-tailed hawks around here. I've posted before that my office is near Fenway Park--one of the biggest nests is actually inside the CITGO sign that you see in the background during games. I see them flying around all the time, and once in a while, when it is windy, one will come and perch on the ledge outside my window. They are fierce looking!

rfalconcam.com is host to Mariah. She has raised 34 babies from her nest box, with the help of two mates. She is sitting on 4 eggs right now. They should hatch in a week or two. It is a great falcon cam site as Kodak supplies 5 different cameras. Kodak used to sponsor the website, but it has been turned over to a falcon group. Mariah has certainly done her part to repopulate the peregrine falcon population.
