Bird Cams Around the World

Presque Isle Power Plant

A full nest at the Port power plant


Each bird is banded with two bands, one on each leg, that allows biologists to follow the animal throughout their life.

The birds were also named, two by representatives of Riveredge Nature Center in the Town of Saukville, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and the others by the We Energies staff.

The first bird, a male, was named Larsen in honor of Andy Larsen, Riveredge’s first executive director and the man identified by many as the personification of the nature center.

The second bird, a female, was named Lillie in honor of Isabel Lillie, president of the Whitefish Bay Garden Club when it founded Riveredge.

“We’re trying to honor our founders,” Natalie Dorrler of Riveredge said.

The third bird, a female, was named MacKena and the fourth, a male, was dubbed Shea — monikers suggested by Port plant manager Terry Hoffmann in honor of his granddaughters MacKena and Everly Shea.

Cute catches- thank you, SGB!

The Valley And Prt Washington juvies look great- I’ll bet they will be ready to fledge soon. The Presque juvies are adorable large white fluffy YETI peregrines....

Port Washington- One lonely juvie left in the nestbox... Valley- Three energetic juvies on the ledge. One jumps to the perch and nonchalantly flies off...the other two begin wildly wingercising but don’t get anywhere...Presque babies are snoozing in a fluff ball.

Banding.

Port Washington- no one in the nestbox but I hear two juvies food begging...

Great News!

We have identified the adult male at Indy Market Tower. Sue H captured several pics of him on the monument and (drum roll please) he is Jeffery, 52/E~(b/bl), a 2016 hatch from Pleasant Prairie Power Plant in Wisconsin! Parents, unbanded female and PBR (b/r) 07/B.
Some of Sue's pics and Jeffery's picture from banding day, May 31, 2016. He was an only chick!

Jeffrey!I remember you! Congratulations on finding your way to Indianapolis!!

Port Washington family is very busy at the moment. I saw mom come charging in with prey in her talons, a juvie hot on her heels. She no more than landed and turned an juvie grabbed his supper and crouched in a corner as he ate. I could see other family members flying in the distance.

Two juvies at Presque, I bet it won’t be long until they are jumping up on the ledge,,,
