Birdcam 640x480 Peregrine falcons do not make their own nests. The availability of man-made nest boxes has helped provide a safe places for them to create families. The peregrine falcon nest box design was created after many years of experience with captive breeding. Bob Anderson, project director for the Raptor Resource Project, supplied the schematic for the nest box you are seeing on the Kodak Web site. Cedar and planks were used for the construction of the nest box.
All hardware is non-oxidizing metal or galvanized metal.
Holes drilled in the bottom of the box help with drainage. At least three inches of round pea gravel line the bottom of the nest box. For more information, contact the Raptor Resource Project .
