Two baby falcons hatched last month and left their nest this week. If you look closely you can see one of the babies (the black spot) on the ledge of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building opposite the windows.


The falcon nest is on the north east side of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. You can see the little video camera inside the box. The mother was in plain sight when we first saw her but after we ran for our camera she was gone. The falcons main diet is birds, especially the pigeons. That is why you never see a pigeon on Temple Square.
