The female falcon nesting on the ledge of the 15th floor of the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg laid her first egg at around 10:30 a.m. on March 25.

The female will continue to lay eggs for the next several days until a full clutch of 3 to 5 is complete.

This is the eighth year the female has produced eggs. The first six years, she produced a clutch of four eggs. Last year, she produced five eggs.

The eggs will begin hatching in early May and the young falcons will begin to "fledge" or take their first flight in June.
