Peregrine Falcon Season Summary

Dairyland's Peregrine Falcon Bird Cam has been deactivated, following a mostly successful 2024 nesting season. The nesting pair of falcons produced a clutch of three chicks in early May. In June, the two female chicks and one male chick were banded by the Raptor Resource Project team, Dairyland's Environmental Biologist, Ben Campbell and Environmental Specialist II, Andy Thomes.

Unfortunately, last week it was discovered that one of falcon chicks had died. The falcon was retrieved from the nesting box and delivered to the Raptor Resource Project for testing to determine the cause of death. We will provide an update when more information is available. The other two falcon chicks are healthy and have fledged the nest.

Including this season's two surviving chicks, we are proud to report that 163 Peregrine falcons have fledged from Dairyland nesting sites! For history on our Peregrine Falcon Restoration program, click here.
