Rochester's first peregrine falcon eggs of the season are here
New York state and Rochester played an important role in the reintroduction of peregrine falcons to eastern North America. The species was nearly wiped down in the 1970s. Rochester continues to track and monitor peregrines with a 24-hour-a-day live camera stream.
This time of year, it's the peregrine falcons that are a sure sign of spring. High above the streets of Rochester is a nest box occupied by two peregrine Falcons, Nova and Neander. Nova is laying eggs in her nest that sits atop the Times Square Building in Rochester. Nine cameras give you an up close and personal view of these peregrines as they raise their young.
