Peregrine Falcon Nestbox Camera 1

A Front-Row Seat Inside the Nestbox

Mounted directly over the ledge, this fixed-angle camera looks straight into the peregrine falcon nestbox on a rooftop of the Université de Montréal. The close framing turns the gravel-lined ledge into a front-row seat on the private world of a nesting raptor family.

Tadi and Ziva's Growing Family

The resident pair, the male Tadi and the female Ziva, raise their brood within view of the lens, each chick marked with its own coloured leg band for the researchers who track the nest. Viewers can watch prey deliveries, feeding sessions and the steady growth of the young falcons at close range.

Peregrines Reclaiming the City

Peregrine falcons are among the fastest animals on Earth, and the tall towers of Montreal now stand in for the cliff ledges they favour in the wild. This close nestbox view is a rare, unobstructed look at a conservation success story unfolding above a busy university campus.

Part of the Faucons UdeM Project

Operated by the Faucons UdeM outreach and monitoring project, this camera is one of several angles trained on the same nest. It connects students, researchers and nature lovers with the daily life of a wild falcon family nesting in the heart of Montreal.
