FALCON CAM
Peregrine Falcons have been observed visiting the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge nesting box on a daily basis throughout this past winter. Typically nesting in Early March, Females lay 2-3 eggs in a simple gravel nest which hatch after roughly 30 days. The Male and Female both hunt and feed their young, alternating between keeping watch at the nest and hunting for pigeons and/or waterfowl. Young falcons will begin to wander and explore the surrounding area at 3-4 weeks of age, before fledging three weeks later.
Get a birds-eye view of the peregrine falcon nesting boxes atop the Tacony-Palmyra and Burlington-Bristol Bridges!
Peregrines have been successfully nesting in those boxes since 2008 and 2009, respectively. Thanks to video cameras focused on the nesting boxes, Peregrine Falcons can be observed nesting on the top of the bridges from late March through early June. Take a peek!
