For only the second time, the pair of Peregrine falcons nesting on the 15th floor ledge of the Rachel Carson State Office Building in downtown Harrisburg has produce five eggs.

If the female is consistent with last year, this is the full clutch.

Since 2000, falcons at this nest have produced 34 eggs. To date, nine males and eight females have survived.

Brooding will be continuous for the next five weeks, after which the first egg should begin to hatch. The young falcons should begin to fledge, or take their first flights, in early June.

To view a live video stream of the falcons, visit's DEP's Falcon webpage.
