Du Bois Falcon Family 2014

A pair of Peregrine Falcons, which have successfully nested on the roof of the W.E.B. Du Bois Library at UMass Amherst for the past 12 years, have a live webcam thanks to the UMass Amherst Facilities Planning Division, the Office of Information Technology (OIT), the Libraries' Systems and Web Management Department, the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), and the Friends of the Libraries.

This year there are three chicks. Chick #1 hatched 5/6/2014, chick #2 hatched 5/7/2014, and chick #3 hatched 5/10/2014.

All donors to the Du Bois Falcons between April 1 and banding day (est. May 30) will be entered in a raffle to attend the banding! To make a donation to the Du Bois falcons and be entered in the raffle to attend the banding: https://www.umass.edu/development/giv...
