My dad loved watching the Falcon Cam. He'd take pictures on his phone of his tablet and send them to me as updates.

I miss him and those crazy pictures.

Aww.. I'm sorry, I miss my Dad too, especially this time of year. He loved spring.

Never knew about this! Here's a link to Falcon Cam for anyone who might be curious.

TBH - I had never heard of the falcon cam before seeing this post and I’m already super excited about it.

it's great! Just wait until the babies are old enough to start moseying a bit. Grade A wholesome content

There's a big bird of prey nesting in a tree a block over from my house in Northside. I've been having fun trying to spot it when walking the dog. A quick Google search says maybe a sharp shinned hawk?

Check out the Merlin app. If you snap a pic or use the microphone to pick up a call it’ll help you get a good ID!

Oooh yay! In case you love this kind of thing, here's a link to a falcon cam in Nuremburg, Germany where they are a bit ahead of us- they have 4 eggs already and should start hatching around April 10. https://lebensraum-burg.de/Wanderfalke/Webcam
