The Peregrine Falcons have been back at the University of Calgary for a while now, and the female has laid four eggs. At the Calgary Zoo, the Ospreys are nesting on the platform there and have one egg laid. We have been lucky enough to be able to watch these birds raise their young via nest cameras for several years.
To see the Peregrines, go to this page and click the YouTube link.
The Zoo Osprey camera can be found at this page.
We will have a link to these sites on our right-hand sidebar throughout the breeding season.

If you want to see Ospreys in person, they can be found hunting almost anywhere along the river. There are many pairs nesting Calgary.
The Peregrines at the U of C can sometimes be seen perched on tall buildings on campus.
This is a cute picture of the Peregrine, just for your information, the link to the Zoo Osprey camera is not working, it takes you to enmax log in page.
It looks like the nest cam page is down for the winter. I will check in a month or so to see if there is a new page and re-do the link.

What happened to the platforms on 22X and Macleod Trail?
They are being moved due the the construction of the Ring Road.
