2019 Falcon Cam Season Concludes Without a Nest

  • July 31st, 2019

Today is the last day of our 2019 Falcon Cam season. Thank you for following our livestream and the ups and downs of this new, young pair. We look forward to the 2020 season and hope that this pair will make a return to the nest box; this time with nesting success! Tune back in next March to see what happens.

the pair never nested this season, that we know of. The lack of a nest this season was most likely due to the falcons' young ages.
