At approximately 12:15PM EST the first falcon eyas made its debut in the Peregrine Falcon nest located in Downtown Buffalo, NY.  Again this year the hatching was right on schedule!

Now to wait for the remaining eggs to also hatch.  Peregrine Falcons normally lay their eggs every other day and not all eggs hatch at the same time so it may be another 24 hours before the next chick makes its appearance.

Last year this nest fledged four young peregrines and the fifth egg remained unhatched.  Will there be five young this year?  Only time will tell!
