For the last seven years Peregrine falcons, an endangered species in Pennsylvania, have nested on the ledge of the Rachel Carson State Office building. And within the last several years, two cameras have broadcasted their daily and nightly life on the Internet. In each of the past two years, the female falcon has laid a clutch of five eggs. While their numbers are improving, Peregrine falcons remain an endangered species in Pennsylvania.
So far, the nest at the Rachel Carson State Office Building has produced 34 eggs. Of those, 32 hatched producing 16 males and 15 females (the sex of one nestling hatched in 2006, the runt of the clutch, could not be determined). Of these, 19 falcons survived --10 males and nine females.
