Falcon Cam
Since 2007, falcon fans have been privileged to witness the fascinating lives of the peregrine falcons settled atop City Hall through the lens of the
FalconCam, maintained by the City of San José in partnership with the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group at the University of California – Santa Cruz. Now, thanks to generous support of individuals and corporations, the San José Peregrine Falcon Alliance raised $25,000 to fund upgrades to the FalconCam and the falcon nestbox. The new FalconCam system includes two cameras that provide alternating, panorama views of the nest and the ledges where the falcons can often be found.
The FalconCam can be accessed online at:
Role of UC SANTA CRUZ (Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group at UCSC):
- To provide educational outreach services to school & community groups in San Jose about peregrine falcons.
- To provide expert advice to the City regarding peregrines.
Thank you to the following corporations for their support of the FalconCam:
