Video: Fidi Falcon Lays Eggs Atop Lower Manhattan High-Rise

FINANCIAL DISTRICT, NY — A peregrine falcon laid its fourth egg on a Lower Manhattan skyscraper Thursday morning, a live web camera known as the "birdcam" shows.

You can now watch the mother falcon sit on the eggs at her nest in the Financial District tower at 55 Water St. until they eventually hatch.

Falcons typically lay between three and four eggs which take about 30-35 days to hatch, according to a thorough fact sheet from the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

The falcon laid her fourth egg Thursday morning, which sets the due date for the baby bird inside between April 23 and April 28.

"How do folks at 55 Water get anything done when this spectacular stuff is going on?" one person commented on Twitter. While, another person wrote, "It's beautiful to watch!"

Peregrine falcons have lived at their digs on the 14th floor at 55 Water St. since 1999, when the first generation Jack and Diane nested there.

Falcon couple Adele and Frank became proud parents in 2019 to two small eyas, pictured above, but Patch was unable to confirm whether they stuck around the building to raise more baby birds.

Peregrine falcons — among the world's fastest birds that can possibly reach up to 200 miles per hour while hunting for prey — decreased drastically in the 1950s and 1960s after certain pesticides were introduced, according to the Department of Environmental Protection.

Yet New York City is home to a community of falcons who nest atop the various city bridges — the Verrazano-Narrows the George Washington and Throgs Neck Bridge — as well as monuments that include the Met Life Building and Riverside Church, according to the DEP.

This may be thanks to efforts from the DEP, which employs a research scientist to care for the peregrine falcon chicks born every spring in the DEP-designed nesting boxes, which provide safe spaces for new generations to hatch.
