Video Blog - Peregrine Falcon Banding Event – View it Live! May 27
Photo

On May 27 the Department of Environmental Protection and the Game Commission will host its annual Peregrine Falcon banding event in the Rachel Carson State Office Building's auditorium in Harrisburg from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m.
 
The entire event will be available live on the Falcon webpage.
 
Teachers, non-formal educators and students are invited to attend this event where biologists will weigh and band five newly-hatched nestlings. There is no cost to attend the banding event.
 
Since 1997, a pair of Peregrine Falcons have made their home on the 15th floor ledge of the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg. The falcon pair has successfully reproduced since 2000, and this Spring, the female falcon again laid a clutch, or nest, of five eggs.
 
To register for this event, please contact Ann Devine, DEP Environmental Education Regional Program Coordinator, 717-772-1644 or send email to: adevine@state.pa.us.
