The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will hold an event to livestream the banding of peregrine falcon nestlings at the Rachel Carson State Office Building on May 22, 2025. The banding is conducted by the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and will be available for viewing at 10 AM on both the DEP Facebook page and PAcast.
"For over two decades, peregrine falcons have nested on the Rachel Carson State Office Building in downtown Harrisburg - the longest active nest site in Pennsylvania," stated DEP Acting Secretary Jessica Shirley. "It's fitting that so many falcons have been born and raised on the building that bears Rachel Carson's name."
Speakers at the event include Anwar Curtis from DEP Communications, Patti Barber from the PA Game Commission, and Sue Hannon from Watch and Rescue.
