UMass Peregrine Falcon Camera is Live for 2017!

The UMass Amherst peregrine falcon camera is live for the 2017 season!



Peregrine falcons have nested on the roof of the UMass Du Bois Library since 2003, with the nest box "live cam viewable" for the past five years (starting in 2012). As of today, April 13, there were four eggs in the nest box. Last year, the mated pair successfully raised one chick. He hatched in late May 2016 and left the nest about a month later. May the weather this season be kind to our chicks.... watch on!
