The peregrine falcon that lives in a nest box on the roof of the Université de Montréal is now the proud parent to two baby chicks.
The mother falcon named Eve laid two eggs in April. It takes about 30 days for a falcon egg to hatch.
Two chicks cracked their eggs Sunday – hours apart – with two more expected this week.
The special moments for bird lovers were caught on the rooftop camera livestream, which captures the falcons’ movements.

The nest box, which is on the southeast side of the tower facing the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery, was previously habited by a pair of falcons named Spirit and Roger.
The university has set up a website dedicated to the falcons and the livestream.
