April falcons

The UB community is welcoming the return of peregrine falcons Hickory and Tornado! Nesting high in the tower of the MacKay Heating Plant on the east side of the South Campus, Tornado has laid a clutch of four eggs. You can follow the falcons’ journey on the Falcon Cam, watching as they tend the nest, the eggs hatch, the chicks grow and eventually take flight.
