Being fed Well fed and going back to sleep

That looks like a successful nesting spot.
The Law firm is very generous to give up its outdoor area to the falcons for the season.

2010 NESTING SEASON
From the site:
Our Web cam shows a nest on the 51st-floor balcony of a downtown Atlanta office building. The nesting falcons and the Web cam are being generously hosted by the law firm of McKenna, Long & Aldridge, which occupies the top floors of the building. The nest is located in a large planter box containing small bushes. The planter makes an ideal nest site because it provides a soft substrate, offers some protection from the elements and it is too high up for any natural predators. Peregrine falcons typically mate for life.
The cam at the Atlanta site is now active, and I think I see at least two chicks among the foliage in the planter.
