According to the Hamilton Community Peregrine Project, the eggs could be hatched as early as this week.
In the 1950s, peregrine numbers began to drop, and by the mid 1960s, the falcon had disappeared from Ontario.
However, as a result of a number of recovery efforts, the species has been steadily increasing in numbers since that time.
Last year, four male chicks were born in Hamilton, who were all tagged and named after local parks: Lawrence, Ainslie, Gage, and Lisgar.
