Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam, Campanile UC Berkeley

Peregrine Falcons on the Campanile

Follow the celebrated Cal Falcons pair as they court, nest and raise their chicks on the gravel ledge of the Campanile, nearly 100 meters above the University of California, Berkeley. This remarkable real-time view captures every stage of the breeding season, from egg-laying to the chicks' first daring flights.

Sather Tower, a Berkeley Icon

Completed in 1914, Sather Tower is among the tallest bell-and-clock towers in the world and the unmistakable symbol of the Berkeley campus, its granite parapets giving the falcons a perfect hunting perch above the city.

A Panorama of San Francisco Bay

Beyond the nest ledge, the camera sweeps across Berkeley rooftops to the vast expanse of San Francisco Bay, with the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin headlands tracing the horizon.

Science and Outreach in Action

Run by biologists from the Cal Falcons project, this engaging live webcam doubles as a conservation classroom, documenting how peregrine falcons, once nearly lost to DDT, now thrive in urban California.
