Screen grab from Virginia DGIF Falcon Cam after female laid her second egg

Being a city with a major river like the James running through it, Richmond offers the unique experience of city life and wildlife coming together. Locals are no strangers to seeing birds like Great Blue Herons or Ospreys fly overhead, deer find their way into neighborhoods and parks, and even spot a pinesnake or painted turtle down by the river.

Some may not realize when walking downtown that way up atop of the Riverfront Plaza building is a Peregrine Falcon couple that has hopefully found their forever home and is currently raising four eggs! You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of them flying overhead, but you can also tune in to the live 24/7 falcon cam and see them up close!
