The Peregrine Chick:
2014 NESTING SEASON
From Greg at WE Energies ...
During the early winter, I saw the adult male at this site perched at the entrance to the old nest box on the north plant. This box has been closed off, and the webcam was moved to the new nest box inside the chimney where peregrines successfully nested last year. Though early in the nesting season, I have not yet seen any sign of activity at the new nest box. I make an effort to clean the artificial turf-covered nest box decks each fall so if a falcon starts spending time there, I will begin to notice small bits of white down stuck on the deck that result from the falcon's preening. So far, I’ve not seen any down on the deck nor have I seen any falcons from the webcam. The first egg was laid was here on March 26 last year.

2013 NESTING SEASON
Nesting peregrine falcon in Oak Creek delivers a Mother's Day gift
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 5 May 2013
Mother's Day arrived a week early for a peregrine falcon nesting at the Oak Creek Power Plant, and the family already has its own Internet reality show.
A live camera focused on the nest Sunday morning revealed three white fuzzy chicks, clustered in a nest of pebbles beside one egg that has not hatched. The mother falcon started feeding the babies breakfast around 10:10 a.m. They appear to have healthy appetites.
The 3 female and 1 male chicks were named Wendelle, Baroness, Ariel & Melvin at banding
The Peregrine Chick:
In the end, Scott was identified as the male at this site and he and Atlanta had four eggs of which three hatched, were banded and fledged. There are 2 females (Emm & Leeah) and 1 male (Eric).
