Overview
- The 2026 season livestream is active with a new high-resolution camera and, for the first time in the project’s 16 years, live sound.
- The nest sits near the top of St. Paul’s Town Square Tower, where the camera was installed in December to provide a wider, clearer view.
- The returning female, Arcadia, is 14 years old, banded in 2013 in St. Cloud, and has nested at this box since 2016, while the male remains unconfirmed.
- The pair has formed a gravel scrape as they prepare for eggs, with peregrines typically laying three to four eggs and first eggs often arriving in late March.
- The livestream is available on the DNR website and YouTube, with updates via alerts and social media, and donations to the Nongame Wildlife Fund support the project and broader peregrine recovery work.
