The peregrine falcon pair who nest in downtown St. Paul laid their first of possibly five eggs this season on Monday, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.

The falcon’s nest box is live-streamed through the DNR’s FalconCam.

The FalconCam became the DNR’s first live webcam 14 years ago after building tenants at Sentinel Properties funded it. Building managers oversee the nest box, birds, and camera, which provides an intimate view into the life of nesting peregrine falcons each year.

The pair may lay up to five eggs. In the Midwest, falcons typically lay their eggs in 48-72 hour intervals, so the DNR said people can watch the FalconCam for a second egg within the next few days.
