Description: Yukon - Charley Rivers National Preserve "Peregrine Falcon & Yukon River Cam" "Located just up river from Eagle, Alaska, a peregrine falcon eyrie (nest) is on this bluff overlooking the Yukon River. The eyrie produced two chicks that successfully fledged (permanently left the eyrie) the first week of August, before migrating south for the winter. Since the chicks fledged, winter's icy grasp on the Yukon River landscape has come and gone. Normally, you could enjoy a rare, beautiful view from high above the Yukon River, but this spring's break-up pushed ice high onto the shoreline, destroying the site of the data repeater. The repeater was an essential link for transmitting the image at the nest to the rest of the world. When the ice retreats, we will attempt to reestablish this vital link." Source: NPS. (Not from the 2014 spring, but from a previous spring melt.)
