Hatching day has arrived! The first peregrine falcon hatchling (eyas) emerged fully on the BGSU Falcon Cam at 12:47 p.m. on May 9.
For the first couple of weeks, we'll only see glimpses of the eyasses as the parent birds will brood them almost constantly, since the baby birds can't regulate their body temperatures for the first two weeks.
In this peregrine falcon nest, there are four eggs total. Watch the live nest camera as Bowling Green’s pair of peregrine falcons 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.
