The falcons have again returned to the building ledge in Harrisburg, PA. There is presently 1 egg in the nest. You can view the activity at this web site: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/falcon/

I'm monitoring. Love the feeding times. Hungry little guys.

It must be chilly there too. The babies are all trying to snuggle under the mom.

Thanks funlcake, I loved watching those little babies.

There will be a live webcast today of the banding of the 2 chicks.

Watched the banding. Always gets me nervous when the chicks squirm and squawk! Poor little guys, but they are healthy and got debugged, etc. Then they had 2 grown falcons to show. Really a good event.

The baby falcons in PA are huge now, and running up and down the ledge trying to flap their wings. Won't be long until they take flight. So cute. My only question is, when they hose off the yukky poop and dead bird 'food' pieces that are littering the ledge, does it rain down on people below? Yikes!

Just like any other ledge, but guess would be a yes. I know the mess the pigeons in Chicago malke sure do "rain down" on people and have even collapsed roofs.
