Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In 2007 a nesting box for Peregrine Falcons was set up on top of the Engineering & Mathematical Sciences Building by Greg Septon of the Peregrine Falcon Recovery Program and Thomas Schuck, a laboratory manager in the Department of Biological Sciences. A webcam documents the falcons in the nesting box, which has welcomed four broods since 2008.
