ABOUT FALCONCAM

The Center for Conservation Biology, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Shenandoah National Park, and Virginia Coast Reserve Long-term Ecological Research, has installed video cameras on four peregrine falcon nest sites throughout Virginia for the 2006 breeding seasons. Click on the links below to view live images from these falconcams (several nest sites have more than one camera monitoring the nest). Cameras are operational 24 hours a day unless otherwise noted.
