Bird Cams Around the World

Cam Link:

Female: not banded
Ozzie: b/r V/S

In 2016 the Richmond nest of 3 eggs failed. Ozzie will be 17 years old and Harriet was likely the same age or older. Their nest is located in downtown Richmond among many high rises with a new one completed last year and another one being built now adjacent to their nest box building. All this turmoil and age make this nest unlikely to continue but we will see how it goes.
Update: Harriet is no longer here and has been replaced by a new unbanded female. We'll see how it goes!

DGIF has added a very complete Q&A on the Richmond falcons, and falcons in general here:

I sure hope they continue to nest. I for one , would miss them

I sent Sergio a note asking about the cam. He reports that they had to take it down because they were doing work on the roof. In the meantime, their internet supplier moved buildings and they are searching for a new way to get the cam up asap. So grateful to have their support and interest in this pair and cam. Crossing my fingers for a quick solution!

Here is the Virginia 2016 falcon report. Lots of great info, including all the bands on breeding falcons as well as the banded chicks from this year.

Big news from the Richmond Cam, which is up and running.

Rest in peace, Harriet. We will miss you.

although we always know this day may come, it is a hard thing to swallow( we have had all experienced this, but ii is hard , none the less. Hopefully , if she has succumbed, she did not suffer , and if she is still alive, hopefully she lives out her life in peace.

We will miss her and remember her well. Harriet

That is Ozzie above, usually they were together at the nest. Poor Ozzie :(

yes, poor ozzie, when they nave been together so long, it is harder for them to adapt. But his instincts will kick in.

Sweet boy, he just keeps doing it. Hopefully the new girl is still around.

Looks like she is still around.
