There are birders who have been counting the days since March 25. On those days a peregrine falcon laid the first and last of several eggs in a nest that is both private and closely watched in Lower Manhattan.
The nest is closely watched because what happens there can be seen on Falcon Cam, a video feed from a camera above the nest. An urban naturalist's reality TV, the writer Lenora Todaro called the feed.
The female has occupied the nest since 2020, while the male, born in 2020, is new this year according to Barbara Saunders, who follows the peregrine falcons closely in Lower Manhattan.
