American Electric Power Building
Fort Wayne, Indiana
nest is couple of floors from the top where there is a narrow ledge (photos from LoopNet & Froona's blog)
For almost two decades, peregrine falcons have made their homes in a nest high atop the 26-story AEP Building in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You can watch nesting families of this raptor species via webcam, thanks to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Soarin’ Hawk Avian Rescue, and Indiana Michigan Power.

The nestbox is on the 26th floor. Check out the "falconcam" tab/link on the above link, its a very nice and informative introduction to the Fort Wayne peregrines, the project and AEP's corporate citizenship involvement in environmental projects in addition to the peregrines.
AEP Building location on map - click on "satellite" and zoom right in, you can actually see where the nestbox is ...

Alison:
Beautiful Freedom at the nest today: she returned just before dark to settle in her favourite corner for the night.
The Peregrine Chick:
Has it been raining in Fort Wayne today? Looks like raindrops on the camera ... might be why the pigeons are hanging out in there so much, despite the death and nibbling-on of one of their compatriots .... Got to be cold if its raining in Fort Wayne in February, I'd hang out in the box too!
Alison:
The pigeons had taken over the nest box this afternoon:
But on the next refresh, there was Freedom with a pigeon:
The next pic showed an empty nest box. A little while later, a few pigeons returned.
