PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — There’s a second egg in the peregrine falcon nest on Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning.

The National Aviary said Carla and Ecco laid their second egg on Saturday around 9 p.m. In an update on Monday, the aviary said people watching the FalconCam can expect a third egg in 48 hours. The first egg was laid on Thursday afternoon.

“Peregrine eggs are tolerant to various temperatures and can sit uncovered in the nest box over the next several days,” the aviary wrote. In a previous update, the aviary said peregrine falcon males don’t incubate the eggs, but viewers may see Ecco temporarily help cover the eggs in inclement weather so Carla can rest.

The National Aviary has been documenting the adventures of Carla and her mate Ecco since February. Carla is new to the nest this year after Morela ended the last season without any eggs and disappeared around May. Carla laid claim to the nest box and Ecco shortly after that, the aviary said.

Carla will incubate the eggs for about a month before they hatch. This year, bird watchers can follow Carla and Ecco through the new camera and microphone, which was installed by Pitt’s IT department.

Pittsburghers are also waiting for a few other eggs to hatch. This year, the popular Hays bald eagles laid just one egg. There are also two eggs in the eagle nest at the U.S. Steel Irvin plant.

Sure, Primanti Bros. is more nown for its sandwiches that are topped with coleslaw and french fries, but sometimes you’re just in the pizza mood.

And we have to give Livvy some grace, because she’s still learning the ropes in the Steel City.

The mustached right-hander has been lighting it up during his rookie season in Pittsburgh. He has struck out seven or more batters in nine of his 10 starts, which is the most ever by a pitcher over

Skenes has also been throwing the heat, with 74 pitches of at least 100 mph, more than double anyone else in MLB.

The 2024 MLB All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday, July 16, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Expect to see Livvy there in full support of her favorite Buc
