This is the first year the public can watch the live broadcast of Larry, her unnamed partner, and her four chicks — all approaching 1-month-old and almost ready to fledge — courtesy of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.

A pair of the fastest birds in the world are nesting on Alcatraz Island in what officials call a "tremendous conservation success" – and you can watch their family blossom live online. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy has launched a live stream of the nest.

The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy helped equip the new camera on Alcatraz Island to broadcast, Larry, a nickname for mama peregrine falcon Lawrencium, and her four fluffy peregrine falcon chicks in a protected cave on the island. 

Biologists from the National Park Service have turned on a live streaming public web camera featuring “Larry,” a 6-year-old peregrine falcon who built a nest several years ago on the famed 22-acre island in San Francisco Bay that was once was home to America’s toughest federal prison. The camera was set up with the help of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. 

The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy hosted the second annual Parks4All: Pink Full Moon Stroll—a one-of-a-kind pink-out party under April's Pink Full Moon at Presidio Tunnel Tops.
