There's a falcon who nests on a building in downtown Seattle. She's started laying, and if you want, you can keep an eye on her. I think it's kind of cool. Will be super cool when the chicks hatch, IMO.

I think there are more Eagle Cams than Falcon Cams. Thanks for finding and bring this one to the rest of us!

Some fun facts about this particular falcon cam (thanks Google):

It's been in place since 1994, so several pairs have used that nest box, since falcons usually live 15 or so years. I vaguely remember hearing about it on the news when it was first installed (that was the year my daughter was born, so I was home and bored for 8 weeks LOL - I also watched the ENTIRE OJ car chase and made my then-husband pick up pizza for dinner because I wasn't leaving the TV to cook!).

Last year, a pair arrived, laid 4 eggs, and then disappeared. It's believed that the mama bird died. Apparently dad bird was seen lurking around a bit but not showing any interest in the eggs. More googling reveals that falcons are believed to mate "until death do they part,, but if a mate dies, the other bird may find its new mate within a week.

Falcons hatch after like 31-33 days.

Rumor has it the chicks are starting to hatch! I haven't seen one yet, but mama is definitely behaving differently than she has been.

Well, in my short watch, there is at least one egg, as that is all I was able to see as she moved just a bit.

Isn’t it fascinating? I also tune it at least once, sometimes several times a day. Watching those fuzzy little babies is ❤️❤️

If you enjoy watching peregrine falcons hatching chicks you will love this link! There are a bunch of nest sites here in Edmonton that have live cameras with a log updating what has been observed. I linked the University of Alberta nest below but in the upper right of the page you'll be able to click on like 6 or 7 other sites around Edmonton to see different nests. Cameras are HD and have night vision for 24 hour viewing. Enjoy!
