Year's first peregrine falcon egg at Sheraton

At 14:15 on Sunday afternoon Madame X rose from her crouched position in the nest ledge to join Surge in chasing away a small falcon. Falconwatchers who happened to be in our 23rd floor viewing location took advantage of the opportunity to get a good binocular and telescope look into the scrape - and were very pleased to see a nice large brown egg!!! At the moment the egg is not easily seen on the TV camera pictures when Madame X is away because the scrape is quite deep and the egg is toward the back of the ledge. Stay tuned. More eggs should be on the way. Our experience is that the female will lay an egg roughly every other day until she is finished.
