Hi,
Two Red-tailed Hawks have built a nest on a window ledge at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The nest sits just outside a window where a camera has been positioned to create a video stream. The camera looks through the glass window pane which is 24 inches wide (~61 cm). No artificial lighting has been added, so the nest is only visible during daylight hours.
Cool, I just saw an adult come & hang out for a few minutes. Considering how ungainly those chicks seem, it is a bit of a miracle that they don't fall out of the nest.
Here's another link, for watching Peregrine Falcons high on top of the smoke stack at the Board of Light and Power in Grand Haven, MI. One chick has hatched while the second could break through any day now. http://mail.ghblp.org:9000/view/index.shtml

The site should be fun to keep tabs on and watch.
