VIDEO: Downtown birdwatching goes hitech
Thanks to a collaborative project involving government, business and non-profit groups, hi-tech is helping Wilmington bird-watchers.

For the last 10 years or so, a pair of peregrine falcons have called the 19th floor
of the Brandywine Building home, although nobody can say for sure if it's been the same
pair the whole time.
The nesting box, installed years ago by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the
11th Street side is now outfitted with a webcam. The Wilmington Peregrine Falcon Webcam
Project now lets anyone with internet access take a close-up look at the pair, and
whatever offspring they may hatch in the next several months, according to DuPont's Tim
Ireland.
To view the falcons, go to the Delmarva
Ornithological Society website or the DuPont Estuary Project website.
