Watching a feed at Green Bay… Three chicks, 2 bigger, one smaller. Seemed like one bigger chick was getting lots of bites. The little one was sitting up, very alert, and the other big one wasn’t paying much attention. Well, little guy had enough of that and he would stretch his neck and reach way in to intercept bites heading for big guy - and he was very persistent too!

Maybe nothing but I thought I’d share it… I was watching Green Bay. Presently a parent is standing on the ledge watching their sleeping chicks. I rolled the recorder back about 4 1/2 hours and parent was still there with the chicks, but then I realized there were shadows flying back and forth outside the nestbox. Intruder?

You got it, Beth! Yesterday I thought I’d hang around Weston to see if I would see anything. Sheldon came for egg/chick duty, but the female would NOT get up…I waited.. and waited….and waited….she would not give in….SHEESH! Good to see the 2 sweeties…

MGE has announced the names of the 2022 falcon chicks.

This year's chicks have names that help celebrate the return of one of Madison's favorite community events to the Capitol Square—the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's Concerts on the Square. As your community energy company, MGE is proud to partner with the many local organizations that help provide rich cultural experiences for our community.

Wisconsin peregrine falcon expert Greg Septon banded the chicks at Blount this week. The bands allow experts to track the birds throughout their lifetimes.

Harmony, a female, was named for the musical effect of combining different pitches simultaneously to make beautiful music.

Maestro, a female, was given a moniker reserved for distinguished musical artists, including composers, conductors or performers.

Presto, a male, is named after playing music at a very fast tempo. In Italian, it means "quickly." Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on earth reaching speeds up to 200 miles per hour.

Sonata, a female, was named after a composition for solo piano or other instruments, usually consisting of three or four movements that vary in key, mood and tempo.

The chicks will learn how to fly soon and eventually leave the nesting box.
