Dubuque Falcon Cam

You are watching a live cam of Peregrine Falcons nesting in Dubuque County, Iowa at the courthouse. The Falcons have been nesting here from mid February through mid June every year since 2017. Both birds are banded. The females band is blue and males red in color. They usually lay 4 eggs each nesting season. Incubation occurs in April with eggs hatching in May.
