Peregrine cam back online
Peregrine falcons are back in downtown Salt Lake City, and there is a long-view camera, a nest-camera and a microphone - rigged up by officials from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - to keep people connected to the raptors nesting on the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Go to www.wildlife.utah.gov to visit the peregrine cam.
