The signs of spring have arrived at UWGB.  On our Green Bay campus, Peregrine falcons nest atop the David A Cofrin Library.  One pair of falcons began nesting there in 2017 to lay eggs and teach their fledglings to fly. This first falcon couple was named “Mimi” and “Rupert,” and their descendants have now brought three new fledglings into the world.

Through the falcon cam , UW-Green Bay students, staff, and nature lovers all over the planet can enjoy and encourage the growth of this delicate species.  (You can even help name the new chicks each year.)
