UC Davis Medical Center’s peregrine falcon parents have returned for another season, and they have already laid eggs! The incubation period for peregrine falcons is usually 33 to 35 days. If everything goes well, livestream watchers may be able to enjoy seeing the chick(s) hatch in late April.

If they hatch successfully, viewers will get to see nearly round-the-clock peregrine activities. The peregrine chicks will emerge from their eggs, then grow from furry white fluffs into very active small birds before flying away and leaving the nest around June.

Since at least 2015, a pair of peregrine falcons has called UC Davis Medical Center’s roof home. Their nest, located a safe distance from the hospital’s helipad, provides a home where the birds can comfortably nurture their newborn chicks.

Read about our peregrine falcon family's history by checking out the recaps of the past three seasons and stay tuned to the video livestream to keep up with the peregrines of UC Davis Medical Center.
