Just passing along the news that the Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Traveler's Tower in Hartford have laid their first egg of the year. Roy Harvey Beacon Falls, CT

Thanks for the news! I've been checking the webcam regularly and was despairing if they would nest this year. I keep it tuned to the nest pretty much every day each spring so my middle school students can watch the progression. I'm trying to turn out the next generation of birders!

Thanks Roy - I'm glad to see they're back - I don't think they were there last year? Folks might want to click on the two "Falcon Cam" buttons on the top of the page at http://falconcam.travelers.com/news.html Though the text on the site doesn't seem to have been changed or updated yet, the cameras seem to be current - one egg all right!

They were there last year -- DEP banded three chicks. I had my students watching them pretty much every day -- the students got an appreciation for how patient the parents must be!
