World's Fastest Animal



See the world through the eyes of nature’s fastest animal: the peregrine falcon. Though once perilously endangered in the U.S., this spectacular predator is now thriving again in American cities and on every continent but Antarctica. What is the secret to its predatory prowess? To find out, follow a young family of peregrines in urban Chicago as the chicks hatch and learn from their parents to fly and hunt. And join expert falconer Lloyd Buck as he trains a captive peregrine and puts its hunting skills to the test. What’s the secret behind the peregrine falcon’s blistering speed, able to reach nearly 200 mph? Airs November 21 at 9 pm on PBS

Yes

 Fly Free, Gayle.

We had no luck installing the new main cam. We'll try again some other time.

We' going back tomorrow morning (Tuesday, 10/30) to install the new Main Camera. Expect the Times Square building cameras to be turned off at around 10 am.

The cameras at the Times Square building will be turned off around noon to work on removing Main Cam. It will be replaced at a later date, perhaps late next week when the weather is expected to improve.

The video chat has been moved to Disqus. Check it out on our streaming video page.

We have a replacement in house ready to go.

Main Cam is toast. It needs to be replaced.

We're experiencing network problems at TSB. Nothing I can do about it on the weekend.

Something is illuminating Mercury. I don't remember it being this bright at night.

Downtown is very PURPLE! 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and purple is the color you can wear to show support of ending domestic violence and bringing awareness to the issue.

Thank you, Kris.

Can we not look back in the archive viewer anymore or is it just me ? I tried but couldn't get it to work.

The archive doesn't go all the way back. I'm pretty sure it goes back 2 months or so. Just not enough disc space in to keep them all. If you know a specific time I believe Shaky can get it for you-last I knew he did transfer them to an off line archive.

Yep, the 2-months online policy has been in effect since we turned on the cameras at the Powers building full-time. (You can thank Cadence.)

I have 2 backup copies of every photo taken by Rfalconcam's cameras since 2007.
