The Peregrine Falcon
(Falco peregrinus)

This beautiful acrobat of the sky had seen a population decline
in the 1960's and 70's due in part to pesticides. Listed in much
of the US as an endangered species, the peregrine is making a
comeback in Western New York, other urban areas throughout the
US and much of it's historic habitat.
High atop the Statler Towers is one of several
nesting pair within the city limits of Buffalo. While visiting
our fine city, be sure to look high in the sky for the aerodynamic
display as they let everyone know who owns the skyline.

Due to
the present status of the Statler Towers, the falcon cam will
not be broadcasting this year. If the status of the Statler changes
we will make every effort to hook the cameras back up and get
live images to all of you.
We have
been working with UB to bring you images of the falcon nest at
the UB South Campus. To view the UB nest, follow this link...
