Baltimore Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam

An Urban Cliff for the World's Fastest Bird

Peregrine falcons naturally nest on sheer cliff faces, and the ledges of a tall city building make a perfect substitute. This scrape sits on a gravel-lined platform where the resident pair, Boh and Barb, return to breed. The falcons hunt in stoops that can exceed 300 kilometres per hour, making them the fastest animals on the planet.

The camera captures the full arc of the breeding cycle, from courtship and egg-laying to hatching and the first tentative flights of the young eyases. Adults arrive to shelter and feed the chicks, offering a rare, close look at behaviour that unfolds hundreds of feet above the pavement.

Baltimore Below the Nest

Beyond the nest box, the Baltimore cityscape stretches to the horizon, a reminder that these wild raptors thrive amid steel and concrete. The vantage point turns a working skyscraper into a modern-day aerie and one of the city's most compelling wildlife windows.
