Regarding the Copper Country Audubon peregrine falcon nest boxes on the Houghton/Hancock Lift Bridge:

Both nest boxes have been removed from the bridge due to an ongoing maintenance program. It was announced today that new boxes are being erected atop buildings in Houghton and Hancock.

"Today a group of people from Copper Country Audubon, Michigan DNR and MTU (Michigan Technical University) have placed a new box on top of the North edge of the EERC building on the MTU campus. This box has a webcam up and running already. It may take a day or two for that webcam feed to show up on the MTU Webcam page. The local Peregrines have not been reported to be back but they are due any day.

Hopefully, a 2nd Peregrine box will be placed within a week on the SE face of the Quincy Shafthouse."

The Quincy copper mine is just north of the Lift Bridge in Hancock. The MTU campus is in Houghton, south and east of the Lift Bridge.

There are two pictures of the new nest box accompanying this announcement, which appeared on the Google Group blog for Copper Country Birding, that I'm unable to share here. If someone is a member of this blog, perhaps they can retrieve the photos.

Let's all pray the falcons find the new nest boxes, and do not try laying eggs on the bridge! Fingers crossed for a successful nesting season!

The new cam is now live. https://www.mtu.edu/webcams/falcon/

:pumpkincat: Another dumb question from yours truly—- There are two “Isabelles” listed for nests in The Detroit area, one at Wayne State, and one at Warren. I know Siri is at Warren, displacing that Isabelle.....Who is at Wayne State?

Thankyou Ferenz for the photo....

Did anyone ever answer this question? This was the female at Wayne State University: Isabella (b/r 27/K) hatched at LG&E (Trimble County) Plant, Bedford, KY in 2013

She was replaced last year by Aura (black/red, 31/y) banded in 2012 at the University of Toledo in Ohio.

HOUGHTON, Mich. (WLUC) - Nesting boxes for peregrine falcons on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge have been removed this spring due to the need for bridge repairs.

Peregrine falcons have been nesting on the bridge since 2013, after nest boxes were installed by the Michigan Department of Transportation, working with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 2012.

Despite the removal of the nest boxes, a pair of falcons has been sighted at the bridge again this year. They may be attempting to establish a nest elsewhere on the structure. If this happens, MDOT will attempt to minimize disturbance to the nesting area from bridge operations.

I don't have an answer...still looking. I haven't seen anything regarding 2021 PeFas at Wayne state. Did you know that Siri was a 2019 hatch from Statler? (NY) According to the Warren Facebook page, a 3rd falcon was seen at the box today. Some are "musing" if it was Isabella!!
