Love Is In The Air As The Peregrine Falcon Egg Watch Begins In Harrisburg
Photo

The Egg Watch is on for the Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg and you can watch everything happen live online.

Last year, the falcons laid their first egg on March 13 followed by the second on March 16, so the first egg should arrive soon.

To keep up-to-date, you can follow them on Falcon Wire News or at Falcon Chatter on Twitter.

Pairs of peregrine Falcons have been on the 15th floor ledge of the Rachel Carson Building since 1996 when the Game Commission placed a nest tray there to see if would attract them.  It did, and the rest, as they say is history.

If everything goes well, watch for the announcement of the falcon banding event which will also be made available online.
