Perched on a ledge of the 41st floor of the Rhodes State Office Tower in Ohio is a Falcon nest. Currently occupying the nest are a pair of Peregrine Falcons and 4 eggs. Live feed camaras capture all activity during daylight hours; updating every 30 seconds. On the site there is a wealth of information about falcons. This has become one of our new favorite sites. We check it many times throughout the day. The eggs were laid in March and will hatch on approxiamately April 27th. Our family will be there to watch the action. Well actually we will be here in our house watching via live feeds. I love nature and I love learning!

Thanks Chalice for the link.
Note: The picture above is Victory shortly after she finished laying her eggs. This picture and others can be found on the above site.
Update: Both the female(Victory) and the male(Orville) will sit on the eggs to incubate them. I just learned that Victory has white between her eyes as Orville does not. So now you may be able to tell if it is mom or dad on egg watch.
