Watch live as a peregrine falcon nests on the roof of Kansas company
A peregrine falcon is nesting on the roof of a Westar Energy building, and you can watch the bird through a live camera.
Nemaha is incubating, or sitting on, four eggs, according to a tweet from Westar Energy.
This is not the first time peregrine falcons have nested on the roof in downtown Topeka, according to the tweet.
"We've been lucky enough to have an active nest each spring for the past 11 or so years," Megan with Westar Energy said on Twitter.
Nemaha was banded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Omaha, according to Westar Energy. She and Boreas, a male falcon, took over the roof nest box in 2011.

Westar Energy has helped promote the conservation of the once-endangered species, according to its website.
Peregrine falcons are carnivores who live up to 17 years in the wild, according to National Geographic.
"They prefer wide-open spaces, and thrive near coasts where shorebirds are common, but they can be found everywhere from tundra to deserts," National Geographic states. "Peregrines are even known to live on bridges and skyscrapers in major cities."
