2026-05-04: Fourth Egg

A fourth egg appeared at the Bell Tower over the weekend. For the last two years, this pair has laid four eggs, but there is always a chance they could go for five!

2026-04-29: Three Eggs

We have a third egg at the Bell Tower! The pair is making steady progress. Last year's clutch totalled four eggs, will they surpass that this year? Stay tuned for more updates!

2026-04-26: Laying Season has Begun at Bell Tower

The pair of Peregrines at the Bell Tower are the first to have eggs again this year. The eggs have come a little later than last year, as the first was laid on April 16. How many eggs will be laid this year?

2026-03-30: Peregrine Spotted!

The first peregrine falcon has been spotted at the Bell Tower! This early arrival marks the beginning of the territorial "battle phase," where falcons return from their southern wintering grounds to reclaim their nesting sites. Stay tuned as we watch the 2026 season unfold.

2025-07-04: Fledged Chick and Empty Nest

We have confirmation that at approximately 7 pm on July 3, the lone male chick fledged. We wish him safe travels and continued success on his journey ahead. That wraps up the adventures from Bell Tower. Until next season!

2025-06-24: Chick Check-In

Wondering where all the chicks have gone? Don't worry, the lone male chick at the Bell Tower has been sexed and banded and remains at the site. Though small, he’s expected to do well now that he doesn’t have to compete for food. If you’ve been watching the camera and can’t see him, don’t worry—he’s been spending most of his time tucked behind the nest box, out of view. The current camera angle makes it hard to spot him when he’s hiding. The three female chicks were removed from the site due to high female fledgling mortality. They’re now in care with a foster mother and will be moved to a hack box. Stay tuned for more updates as our little Bell Tower peregrine continues his journey!

2025-06-09: Wings, Wobbles, and Watchful Parents

The chicks are growing fast and starting to explore their surroundings. Both parents can be seen in the nest, keeping a close eye on their curious brood and making sure everyone is fed and safe. It won’t be long before these little ones are testing their wings!

2025-06-04: Hungry Chicks

The peregrine chicks have grown quite a bit since the final egg hatched at Bell. The parents are busy feeding them several times a day.

2025-05-28: Final Hatch

The final egg hatched yesterday afternoon! The mother peregrine could be seen helping the little one out of it's shell.

2025-05-26: More Chicks!

Two more chicks have hatched at Bell! The mother peregrine has been busy feeding and continuing to incubate the fourth unhatched egg. Stay tuned to catch the final egg hatch live!

2025-05-25: First Hatch

The first egg hatched at Bell very early Sunday morning just after midnight. This early morning photo shows white fluff poking out from under the mother peregrine.

2025-05-20: Incubation Continues

The female peregrine can be seen taking a quick break from incubating her eggs. The incubation period lasts around 30-36 days. Because the female peregrine lays an egg every two days, there can be a difference of eight days between the oldest and youngest chick. We should see hatching soon!

2025-05-02: Busy Incubating

The female peregrine has been diligent in incubating her four eggs. The peregrine pair at Bell Tower are a well-established couple, with several years of successful hatching of four young every year.

2025-04-23: A Quartet of Eggs!

Today a fourth egg was laid matching the quantity we had last year at this nest. Will we be surprised with a fifth egg?

2025-04-21: Three Eggs

The Easter weekend brought more eggs to Bell Tower! Over the weekend, two more eggs were laid. Will there be more? Peregrine falcons typically lay a clutch of three to four eggs with the average clutch size of four. In the past, we have seen clutches of five.

2025-04-16: First Egg!

The peregrine pair have their first egg at Bell! Last year four eggs were laid. Will there be the same amount this year?

2025-04-09: Peregrines Are Here!

Activity at Bell Tower! The female peregrine was seen earlier today getting the nest ready by working to create a shallow scrape in the substrate.

2024-07-05: Fledged Chick

We have confirmed that at approximately 11am on July 3, the lone male chick successfully fledged. If all goes well, the chick should re-visit the nest ledge periodically.

2024-06-25: Missing Peregrines

It is a bit quieter over at the Bell nest as the biologists took three females chicks from the nest and left the youngest – a male. The male has been spreading it's wings and wandering more around the area. The three females will go with several others to a nearby hack site for release.

2024-06-20: Wing Testing

One of the chicks (who is not so little anymore!) at Bell Tower was trying out some early morning wing testing while the parent watched on.

2024-06-13: Keeping Watch

The peregrine parents are on watch duty as the chicks nap in the nest. Soon they will be awake again and ready for another feeding. Feedings are repeated several times each day and increase in frequency as the chicks grow.

2024-05-31: Feeding Time!

The falcon chicks are hungry and eager to be fed in the early morning. Keep watching to see them grow over the next few weeks!

2024-05-27: Counting one, two, three, four!

The last egg hatched on Friday, leaving four hungry chicks for the falcon pair to feed. Stay tuned for more updates!

2024-05-23: Chicks Spotted!

We have some fuzzy heads poking out from under the wing of their parents!

2024-05-21: Awaiting Egg Hatching

The peregrine pair at Bell Tower are busy incubating and awaiting their eggs to hatch. Did you know the word “peregrine” means “wanderer” or “pilgrim”?

2024-05-07: Falcons at Bell Now Live

Bell Tower is now running and has greeted us with a wonderful sight. Four eggs have been laid and the pair of falcons are busy incubating. Which nest will hatch first?
