Peregrine Falcon Nestbox Camera 2

A Rooftop Home for Urban Raptors

Perched on a ledge atop one of the tallest buildings on the Université de Montréal campus, this nestbox gives the city's most agile hunters a safe place to raise their young. The elevated vantage recreates the cliff ledges peregrines favour in the wild, here traded for the brick and stone of a landmark tower.

Meet Tadi and Ziva

The camera follows a bonded pair — the male Tadi and the female Ziva — as they incubate, hatch, and feed their downy chicks. Viewers can watch prey deliveries, feeding sessions, and the rapid growth of the young falcons through their first weeks of life.

Peregrines in the City

Peregrine falcons are among the fastest animals on Earth, and Montreal's tall structures make ideal urban aeries. This feed offers a rare window into a conservation success story, showing how a once-endangered species now thrives above a busy metropolitan campus.

A Living Classroom

Run by the Faucons UdeM project, the camera is part of an ongoing outreach and monitoring effort. It connects students, researchers, and nature lovers worldwide to the daily rhythms of a wild raptor family nesting in the heart of the university.
