This live camera is aimed at a bell tower in Sherwood Park, a suburb just east of Edmonton, where peregrine falcons are known to nest on tall urban structures. It is a good place to check whether the birds are active during the day. The page also shows local time and the weather outlook for the area.
About Sherwood Park
Sherwood Park is a large residential community in Strathcona County, located east of Edmonton in central Alberta. The area is known for its parks, lakes and wooded neighbourhoods, and it sits on the rolling parkland between the prairies and the northern boreal forest. Its growth over recent decades has made it one of the biggest communities in the region outside the city limits. Peregrine falcons have adapted well to such settings, hunting pigeons and other birds above town.
What to watch on the camera
The camera focuses on a bell tower, so the most likely sights are the birds perched on the upper ledges, returning with prey, or flying around the structure. Peregrines are most active in the early morning and in the hours before dusk, and spring is the season when nesting behaviour is most noticeable. Quiet periods are normal, especially during midday or in bad weather. Watching for a few minutes at a time often gives the best chance of seeing movement.
Climate and getting around
Central Alberta has a continental climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, and conditions can change quickly from day to day. Late spring through early autumn is the most pleasant period for a visit. Edmonton, about 6 km to the west, is the nearest large city and has its own live camera on this site. Red Deer lies further south, about 144 km away, and makes a useful reference point for the wider region.
