Title: NC / Charlotte - 2013

2013 NESTING SEASON

From the folks at One Wells Fargo ...

While this probably isn't what most folks were thinking of doing when we developed our environmental commitment, it turns out Wells Fargo has found another way to support the environment - by providing a place to raise bird babies! A nesting pair of Peregrine falcons has chosen the 40th floor of One Wells Fargo Center here in Charlotte, NC as their new home. These falcons were once on the verge of extinction (and apparently were at one point entirely wiped out east of the Rocky Mountains), but they've made a great comeback. Peregrines are also known for their ability to adapt to urban habitats and often make their homes on skyscrapers, as our new friends have done in this case. They're pretty neat birds!

Our video team, Corporate Properties Group and property management partners at Childress Klein Properties worked together to set up a live camera feed on the nest so the rest of the world can get a glimpse of this wonderful natural event. Momma Falcon is being very attentive, and the babies are due to hatch any day now! You can check out the feed here: http://www.childressklein.com/falcon1.aspx.
