Peregrine Falcons

Peregrine falcons have been nesting at the library since 2004. They typically occupy the nest (scrape) from March until June each year. There is an Evanston Peregrine Falcon Watch group for posting and sharing news and observations of the Evanston Peregrine Falcons. Scientists from the Field Museum’s Chicago Peregrine Program band the young falcons each year.

Falcon FAQs

  • The Evanston Public Library operates a live Falcon Cam through our YouTube Channel during the nesting season when the falcons establish their scrape on our building. When our feed goes down, it needs to be manually restarted. If the stream you've been watching is suddenly not working, visit our YouTube Channel and look for the most recent live streams.
