Three of the four peregrine falcon eggs have hatched in the Wood County Courthouse clock tower as of today (May 10) at 6 p.m.
The live nest camera is again set up in the clock tower as Bowling Green’s pair of peregrine falcons raise another family.
The Falcon Cam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1cUyZ7oGPs) is a partnership between the Wood County Commissioners and BGSU. The peregrine falcon is BGSU’s official mascot.
This is the 14th year in a row the falcons have chosen this spot to nest. The first egg this year was laid on April 2, followed by the others on April 5, 7 and 10. The first hatchling appeared on Thursday (May 9), shortly after noon.
The peregrine is renowned for its speed. It can reach over 200 mph during its characteristic high-speed dive while hunting.
