In 2024, a nest cam was connected to a nest box that has been on the top of a high rise in Downtown Moncton since 2011 and this nest box has been used by Peregrine Falcons since 2012.
Why is the nest cam important?
The nest cam provides Moncton residents (and beyond) a unique way to connect with, observe, and learn about nature.
The nest cam has been turned off for the 2024 season.
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNER
Nature Moncton is proud to partner with the Magnetic Hill Zoo on the Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam project.
The Zoo provided a financial donation via their conservation fund to cover the cost of the purchase and installation of the webcam, as well as the first 2 years of internet connection. In addition, the nest cam’s live feed is hosted on the Magnetic Hill Zoo’s website.
The Zoo is Atlantic Canada’s foremost zoo, a leader in educating and inspiring conservation action.
SUPPORT THE ZOO'S CONSERVATION FUND
The Magnetic Hill Zoo’s conservation fund was created to financially support in situ education and conservation projects around the world.
The next time you visit the Zoo, you can support this fund by:
dropping some coins into the Zoo’s donation bins,
purchasing a Zoo map and designated items in their gift shop, and
rounding up the dollar for your purchase at their gift shop.
