Can you spot the new arrival? In a nest high atop the historic Union County Courthouse Tower in midtown Elizabeth, this magnificent peregrine falcon parent is hiding a newly hatched baby bird under her feathers. The egg hatched at 7:40 Tuesday morning, and three more eggs are expected to hatch in the coming days. Keep watch over the nest by tuning into the free Union County livestream at ucnj.org/falcon.
