  •  Great Spirit Bluff Peregrine Falcon's Nest Cam - The Great Spirit Bluff peregrine falcons nest on a cliff-face near La Crescent, MN, overlooking Lock and Dam #7 on the Mississippi River. After a wintering away, falcons return to the area in late February to early March, beginning courtship between early and Mid-March, and laying eggs between late March and mid-April. Hatching begins in early to mid-May, fledge generally occurs 38-40 days after that, and young disperse in late August or mid-September. The adults stay on territory until late fall. While the male and female leave at roughly the same time, they aren’t believed to migrate together Peregrine falcons do not build nests out of sticks. They make scrape nests on ledges, potholes, and crevices on cliffs and buildings. This nest box is filled with pea gravel to provide a substrate that cushions and drains the eggs.

    Grasslands National Park preserves a mixed-grass ecosystem of over 70 different species of grass and over 50 different species of wildflowers. Grasslands is the only place in Canada where you can see the Black-tailed Prairie Dog and the Black-footed Ferret and Eastern Yellow-bellied Racers in their native habitat.

  •  Great Horned Owl Live Webcam - A powerful and adaptable bird of prey, the Great Horned Owl has the most extensive range, the widest prey base and the most variable nesting sites of any American owl. Its large yellow eyes, pronounced ear tufts, and white bib distinguish the Great Horned Owl from related species, especially once its unmistakable multi-tone hoot is heard.

    Silently gliding from perch to perch, the Great Horned Owl hunts easily after dark. While perched and ready to pounce, the Great Horned Owl is robustly equipped with excellent eyesight, the ability to swivel its head more than 180 degrees, and an acute sense of hearing to locate its prey.

    Regularly consuming small mammals, Great Horned Owls are also known to eat fish and even large prey such as other owls or raptorial birds.
