Yes, it's a bird and a rare one we've nearly made extinct.
This is good news for the city and both counties, as well as the Valley in general.
To the person worried about the camera, it's likely hidden so the birds cannot see it. People have been doing that in nests for years.

Plus the fact that the camera has been there since the bird got there and layed the eggs.

this is great news for an endangered species. it is so hard to try and rebuild a species such as this and to see that three eggs have or appear to be hatching in the wild is truly incredible. it is people who have made certain species extinct and hopefully with a success story right in our own backyard, it might get people to realize that we have one earth, and we need to take care of the precious things here.

and this is breaking news?!?!?!? its a bird for crying out loud!

We made this bird nearly extinct with our use of DDT 50 years ago. This story is an EXTREMELY important one in the world of nature and environmentalism. If you care for neither, then crawl back in your hole you call an apartment and go back to watching "Reality TV", playing video games, and eating fast food.

The bird is the fastest living thing on earth, by the way, which I think is very cool. Not too many other things go as fast as a NASCAR race car at Talladega. This falcon can reach speeds of over 200mph when it is in a dive for food! Slightly faster than a cheetah, huh?

And MUCH faster than your lazy fat ass.

Good one Mary! I guess some people would rather just hear bad news!

Now I know why they got the crime cameras.

This is really Pulitzer Prize material. Amazing stuff. Makes me feel safe on the streets.

This is also the way they coddle the gangsters and all the other social malcontents in this town.

Someone has their head up their a***.

Give me an old fashioned fat filthy flying rat of a pigeon any day.

Wow - the fastest thing in the air!

And how many species do you all think this critter will kill to survive.

Same as what PPL is doing to the majoirty of it's customers.

I know - they are so cute. Go hug a tree - hopefully one with poison ivy on it.
