Fellow Birders:

Check out the Cleveland Falconcam at www.falconcam-cmnh.org.

The Cleveland Falconcam follows the Peregrine Falcons nesting on the
Terminal Tower, the classic skyscraper in the center of downtown
Cleveland. The male (Buckeye) is a product of the Columbus and the
female (SW) hails from Pittsburgh. This is their 8th year together at
this location.

Three of their eggs have hatched with one egg remaining.

The site features three camera views of the nest and its location on the
12th floor of the Terminal. Though the site does not have streaming
video, an image from each camera is refreshed every minute and an 8 hour
archive of those images is maintained. This is particularly useful for
reviewing shift changes, feeding and other behaviors at the nest.  For
example an image from Monday clearly shows that Virgina Rail was on the
menu.

In addition to the images and archives, check out the Forum section
where some 700 falcon enthusiasts from around the world post images,
observations and commentary on nests in Cleveland, Ohio, the U.S and
beyond.

Enjoy!
