Peregrine Falcons Return to Their Nest

March 17, 2008: Scout returns to the ledge, followed by Orville. Scout checks out the nest box while Orville softly calls to her. He checks it out after she leaves. Then he jumps up on the nest box cam and flies away. The original sequence lasted about 40 minutes, but I shortened it to under 3 minutes.

These live images are being taken from a Peregrine falcon nest maintained by Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife. Located on the 41st floor ledge of the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus, the nest is home to Orville (Male) and Scout (female).
