The University of Texas at Austin's Main Building is sometimes visited by Peregrine Falcons and other birds throughout the year.
This camera at the top of UT's 302-foot iconic Tower shows bird activity in a nest box area where different raptors often come, sometimes during their annual migration.
Supported by donors, the camera sometimes also shows various views of the Forty Acres and surrounding area.
Biodiversity Center scientists and students study issues of land use and species interaction in Texas and work to raise awareness about a wide diversity of animals, plants, ecosystems and their interactions, including visitors to the Tower Bird Cam. This project supports the Biodiversity Center’s mission in research, education and community engagement.
