Falcons

Every year, 1201 Third is lucky enough to serve as a nesting place for the Peregrine Falcon. During the nesting and growth of the their young, Property Management works closely with a District Wildlife Biologist and the Urban Raptor Conservatory to closely monitor the falcons.

During the egg laying, hatching and fledgling process, we feature a ‘falcon cam’ where tenants and people around the world can check-in and watch these amazing birds. Join us on Tweet @1201Third with #1201Falcons.

  • Peregrines are the fastest animal species on the planet.
  • Hunts by power-diving from great heights to strike their prey - they can reach diving speeds of up to 200 mph.
  • They became seriously endangered in the mid-20th Century due to use of certain pesticides.
