New cameras provide sharper bird’s-eye view of Capitol peregrine falcons

LINCOLN — The “peregrine webcams” atop the Nebraska State Capitol are back in business and sharper than ever.

Newer, sharper-detail video cameras were recently installed by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, which has operated livestream video of peregrine falcon nests from the 18th floor of the State Capitol for two decades.

Known for their impressive speed, peregrines typically nest on sheer cliffs, but have adapted to utilize nesting boxes installed on skyscrapers.
