These peregrine falcon babies are growing up fast! Watch the four baby falcons on the move as they try to get their parent's attention. The live nest camera showcases a pair of peregrine falcons that once again set up shop in the clock tower of the Wood County Courthouse to expand their family. You can watch their activity through our live Falcon Cam, a partnership between the Wood County Commissioners and BGSU. This is the 14th year in a row the falcons have chosen this spot to nest. The peregrine falcon is BGSU's official mascot.
