Injured falcon becomes educational ambassador
Herbert, a peregrine falcon, was born at our Valley Power Plant in 2004. He spent several years nesting at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Milwaukee, and will now live his remaining years as an educational ambassador at the Wisconsin Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
Herbert was badly injured last year and despite months of rehabilitation – including surgery – he remains unable to fly. So now, Herbert will help raise awareness about his species, which remains listed as endangered in Wisconsin.

Herbert was found injured in Wauwatosa last spring. Veterinarians at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center determined he had a dislocated elbow, but that wasn’t his only injury. An X-ray revealed a pellet embedded in his abdomen, which indicated Herbert previously had been shot but survived.

Scott Diehl from the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center invited us to visit Herbert recently. The once wild bird of prey now can sit quietly on the gloved hand of a trainer. It took months of hard work to get Herbert to this comfort level. With a bit more work, we’re told he’ll soon be ready for his debut in educational programs at the Wisconsin Humane Society. He joins other resident educational ambassadors such as Picasso, an eastern screech owl, and mallard ducks, Sonny and Cher.

I haven't received a response from Greg, but I surmise you may be right.

I hope nothing strange is going on at Port Washington. In 5 of 13 pics, the eggs were alone...doesn't seem like a lot, but that was the red flag for Oak Creek last year!!! (intruder) I've noticed that they have had more uncovered pics than any of the other nests the past few days...

I have been a bit worried, but didn't want to sound like the worry wart AGAIN

It may be absolutely nothing. The eggs haven't looked all messed up (like a parent left in a hurry). With Oak Creek last year, the eggs usually looked scattered.
