Conservativa

Fed up with politics? Take a look around - there is life (outside politics) happening everywhere, including on a ledge of the McGuire Woods building in downtown Richmond. The Virgina Department of Game and Inland Fisheries reports that the peregrine falcons are back at the nesting site there, and the female has just laid a second egg.

You can look in at any time to see the falcon family’s progress and read running commentary by the VDGIF wildlife biologists. Here’s the link to the FalconCam page. There is the current webcam shot, plus recent highlights of activity. Check out the video from Feb. 29 - let it load, then at about the 2:00 mark, you can see a closeup of one of the falcons looking around from the ledge, with the Richmond skyline behind her. They are beautiful creatures.
