Wilmington, Delaware Peregrine Falcon Cam Live with Sound

If you love peregrine falcons, this is the place to be. This live camera, with sound, follows a resident pair of peregrines nesting high above downtown Wilmington, Delaware, as they go through the rituals of courtship, egg laying and raising their young.

Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth in a hunting dive. Once endangered across much of North America because of pesticides, they have made a strong recovery, and city buildings have become popular nest sites, with tall ledges standing in for cliffs and plenty of pigeons to hunt.

Through the season

• Courtship calls and displays in late winter
• Egg laying and incubation in spring
• Fluffy white chicks growing into fledglings by early summer

The sound adds a special dimension, letting viewers hear the adults' calls, chicks begging for food and city noises far below. Fledging is the most dramatic time, as the young falcons take their first flights. The stream is provided by DOS Birds.
