The pair of Peregrine Falcons nesting on the 15th floor of the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg have laid their first two eggs of the season and more might be coming. Click Here to watch live.
DEP announced last week the 18-year-old male Peregrine Falcon that was nesting at the Rachel Carson Building for the last 16 years perished after he flew into the side of the building.
“W/V,” as he was known, was replaced by a younger male in the nest this year as the dominant male.
During his tenure, W/V sired 65 falcons. He hatched and was originally banded in 2003 at the Walt Whitman Bridge in Philadelphia.
