The peregrine falcons are settling in at least at one site in Marquette. With a whirl of activities planned for the city’s power plants, nesting sites for the large falcons have been in question. The nesting box at the Presque Isle Power Station was closed this winter to prevent nesting there ahead of We Energies’ plans to dismantle the facility. It will not be opened this year for the peregrines so any hoping to nest there this year will have to look elsewhere.

Here is the current egg count for each nest box:

Oak Creek Power Plant

Eurus and Michael are incubating four eggs. Eurus laid her first egg in late March. They’re expected to hatch between May 4 and 6.

Valley Power Plant

Hercules and his mate, an unbanded female, are incubating three eggs at our Milwaukee nest box. They’re expected to hatch between May 7 and 9.

Port Washington Generating Station

Beasley and Brinn are incubating three eggs. Brinn laid four, but unfortunately, one broke. The remaining eggs are expected to hatch between May 4 and 6.

Weston Power Plant

Rosalee and Sheldon are incubating four eggs at the Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) nest box in Rothschild. They’re expected to hatch between May 9 and 12.

You can check out our high-definition webcams at all of the nest sites, streaming 24/7 on our website. We Energies is part of a statewide effort to restore the peregrine falcon population. Since our first successful nest box in 1997, 273 peregrine falcons have hatched at We Energies facilities.

Great news for pleasant Prairie Falcons :penguin:

Falcons find their way to new home
When it comes to our peregrine falcon program, we’ve learned to expect the unexpected. When you’re dealing with wild animals, anything can happen. For almost a year now, we’ve been crossing our fingers a falcon named “PBR” and his mate would find a new nest box we helped to place. There was no guarantee. But now we’re happy to report: The falcons have landed.
Image
PBR and his mate, a female without a tracking band, used to nest at Pleasant Prairie Power Plant. When the nest box was closed last year, Greg Septon, our peregrine manager, was already searching to identify a potential replacement site nearby.

Falcons are naturally drawn to cliffs and tall buildings along the water. After reading an article about our search, Pat Hicks, plant manager at Ardent Mills in Kenosha, knew his flour mill would be the perfect falcon habitat. Septon quickly agreed. It’s not too far from the power plant, and it’s more than 100 feet tall. Hicks and Septon installed a nest box there over the summer, crossed their fingers and started to wait.

After a long winter, their patience was rewarded. PBR and his mate have moved to the new site — exactly as we had hoped. When Septon checked on the new nest box in April, he even found four freshly laid eggs. And if all goes well, the falcons will raise another brood of young this year in their new home.
Image
It’s thrilling for Septon, who founded the state’s peregrine recovery effort. The Pleasant Prairie nest box was one of the first nest box sites statewide, and more falcons were born there than at any other We Energies site. Now we know that legacy will continue – just a few miles away.

Port Washington~ :hatchegg: :hatchegg: Pics will be coming..but, right now, there is some type of major disturbance going on outside the box. I can hear both parents alarm calling/kakking and doing fly bys of the box. It sounded like something hit either the perch or side of the box a few seconds ago. Its not helping that the cam keeps going in and out. A parent has just returned to be with the kids. I can't tell if its mom or dad~yet...
