Mn DNR Nongame wildlife, Peregrine Falcon, Bremer Bank Building, St.Paul, Mn.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Nongame Wildlife Program is broadcasting a Web streaming video of peregrine falcons nesting on the top of the Bremer Bank Building in downtown St. Paul. With the help of the Town Square merchants as well as the Midwest Peregrine Society, The Nongame Program is able to provide this unique opportunity to watch peregrines raise their young in an urban setting.

In 1987, a nesting box was placed on the east side of the building and was first used by a pair of falcons in 1988. Several pairs of falcons have chosen this site as their home, producing 65 chicks through 2012. Last year was the 9th year that the pair "Jill" and "Sota" had occupied the box. Sota hatched in 1994 and had been nesting since 1998. Despite missing two toes on each foot (probably due to frostbite), and being 17 years old, Sota had been able to provide enough food for himself, all of his offspring and his mate during incubation and early brooding of chicks. Unfortunately, Sota has not been seen this season. Jill has returned and has a new mate and they have begun laying eggs. After about a 35-day incubation period, the chicks should hatch close to Memorial Day weekend.

Does anyone know when the cam will start. Just me waiting. :-\

From the DNR.

The peregrine cam in downtown St. Paul is new, has a new view and is now live and on line!  The pair is already incubating 4 eggs, the first of which was laid on April 4th.  Incubation is just under six weeks.  The new camera angle is just about eye- level to the birds and should prove to be close-up for bird observation and chick feeding/rearing. 

The male at this location is the same male as last year, "Peter", a three year old and the female is "Arcadia", also three years old.    Jill, the long-time female occupant of this box, unfortunately died a few months ago at the Raptor Center of Minnesota.  Her death was likely a result of the two year old injury she had on her beak.

Just to clarify things, Jill the nesting female for many years actually was euthanized due to an old broken leg injury which could not be repaired.

Also, hatch should happen this thursday/friday.
