New falcon nest in the neighborhood

Falcon cam: http://1201thirdtenants.com/falconcam.aspx

From Mark Dambourg: “As the site states, the building is downtown at 1201 Third Ave.  The current view is of a bird on the eggs in the nest of pebbles which are in a in a wooden frame.  There are at least 2 eggs but I think a normal clutch is 3 or 4 eggs.  The building is the pyramid-topped building directly behind the Renaissance Hotel as viewed from our apartment.  Any apartment on the West or North of our building can see it.  The nest is on the East side of the building directly under the arch at the top and right of the small, square window/light.  We can’t see the nest when looking at the building as it is behind a ledge but sometimes there will be a bird on the ledge just right of that window/light.  Binoculars or a spotting scope is probably essential.  This is usually a very boring view as the adult just sits there, shifting position once in a while.”
