WATCH: Peregrine falcon chicks nest atop Kansas City building
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Spring and summer means a pair of peregrine falcons are nesting atop a Kansas City building.
It’s part of an effort through the Missouri Department of Conservation to restore falcons across the state. The department said the falcons originally nested on cliffs. Now they are drawn to the ledges of tall buildings.
One of those buildings stands near 25th Street and Grand. The Department of Conservation installed a next box on the roof. This spring a falcon pair claimed the box and guarded four eggs in the nest.
The eggs hatched and people can now watch a live feed of the young birds grow from a camera feed streamed to YouTube.

Another camera is mounted in a nest box on a smokestack at the Iatan Energy Plant near Weston, Mo.
The Missouri Department of Conservation checks in on the falcon families and bands the young birds before they leave the nest. Biologists use the leg bands to track the movements of falcons across the country.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Bates County Circuit Court judge Friday sentenced a Linn County, Kansas, man in connection with the December 2025 death of Airen Andula, 13.
Damon Leonard, 47, was sentenced to four years in prison for abandonment of a corpse, according to court records.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of abandoning a corpse on May 22.
Andula disappeared from his Pleasanton, Kansas, home on Dec. 21, 2025. A day later, law enforcement found the boy’s body in a ravine in Bates County, Missouri. He had died from multiple dog bite injuries.
Police were led to the boy’s body after a phone call from Leonard.
Court documents said Leonard “admitted that he transported the deceased child from Kansas to Missouri and left the body in the bottom of the creek” before he returned home.
KSHB 41 reporter Fernanda Silva spoke with Andula’s family earlier this week — after the guilty plea and ahead of Friday’s sentencing.
His family shared that the guilty plea brought a small sense of justice, but it didn’t do much to ease the pain of their loss.

“We’re missing our kid every day of our lives,” the boy’s father Charles Andula told Silva.
Leonard received credit for time served of 158 days in his sentence, per court records.
