The first egg in the Alma Site Peregrine falcon nesting box was noticed on Dairyland's Bird Cam on March 29! The falcons are a returning pair from last year. The unnamed female is from a 2015 hatch from Midwest Plaza in Minneapolis; the male is unbanded.
Keep up with the falcons' nesting season in real time through our Bird Cam. Peregrine falcons typically incubate a clutch of 3 to 4 eggs with hatching expected in approximately one month.
Did you know? Dairyland’s Peregrine Falcon Restoration Program began in the 1990s and, since then, more than 150 falcons have fledged from the Dairyland's falcon nesting sites combined.
