NEW FALCON WIRE!
2/7/2011 :: Rachel's Falcons Begin 2011 Nesting Season
Falcon watchers have reportedly seen breeding activities at the nest ledge. DEP Environmental Education staff are preparing for another season of outreach and education on endangered species reintroduction with Rachel's falcons as the focal point. We're currently seeking approval to contract for the live streaming video (more on this later) and the annual teacher workshop is set for April 13th, here at the Rachel Carson State Office Building.

Had the great pleasure of seeing a Peregrine sitting on the nest edge yesterday. Sure was great to see a falcon again! Can't wait for some eggs to appear. ;D
Anybody else wondering why the ledge cam view is upside down? ::)

Kinderchick:
Too bad about the resident female losing this site. :( Should be interesting to see what unfolds.
Linder:
2011 NESTING SEASON
It appears that the resident female lost the battle for this site and new one is in residence and has been for a few months. Will post further info as it happens.

Rachel Carson State Office Building
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

The Rachel Carson State Office Building was built in 1990. It has 17 storeys, is 70 m high and built in the modernist style. The building is home to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Department of Environmental Protection first became interested in the Harrisburg peregrine falcons in 1996 when they learned a male falcon was flying over the city. The DEP, knowing the nature of the falcons, promptly put a nesting tray on the fifteenth floor of their building with hopes the male would return with a mate and find a comfortable home in the nesting tray.
