The first of several eggs laid by an endangered peregrine falcon atop the Union County Courthouse Tower in midtown Elizabeth hatched Tuesday morning, officials said.
The egg hatched at 7:40 a.m. Tuesday and three more eggs were expected to hatch in the coming days, according to a release from Union County.
A “Falcon Cam” has chronicled the activity of multiple pairs of adult peregrine falcons throughout the years and provides a livestream of their activity, which can be seen at ucnj.org/falcon, county officials said. The cameras are intended to provide schools, researchers and birding enthusiasts with new learning opportunities. Starting last year, the nest cam was equipped with audio.
