Don't F*** with a Falcon Mommy

San Francisco is home to the cinema's most famous falcon, but San Jose has us beat when it comes to bird-of-prey reality TV. The City of San Jose, along with the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group (motto: "Birds of Prey Know They're Cool"), has a webcam pointed at a falcon family living at San Jose's City Hall.

Now we can enjoy the full nerdy-ness of birding ("why yes, I too am a birder!") without the expensive binoculars and bothersome treks into the wilderness.

More screen shots after the jump.

If a baby owl is an owlet, does that make these "falconets"?

Our '64 Falcon also laid an egg. Where's our webcam?
