The Peregrine Chick:
2014 NESTING SEASON

The 2014 Peregrine Falcon nesting season is officially underway with the arrival of a Peregrine to Dairyland's Genoa Site nesting box on Feb. 20. The falcon is a returning male named Lucas. He fledged from Dairyland's Alma Site nesting box in 2004. Lucas appeared right on schedule; last year he arrived on Feb. 18.

Dairyland’s Peregrine Falcon Restoration Program began in the mid-1990s. Since then, 89 falcon chicks have successfully fledged from Dairyland's nesting sites in Alma and Genoa, Wis. Please check back frequently to watch for the arrival of more falcons at our Alma and Genoa nesting sites this spring. Updates will be posted regularly.

I think there are four chicks at Genoa:

2010 NESTING SEASON

The Genoa nest has at least one chick, possibly two. The falcons here have been Lucas and Jezebel, but I'm not absolutely sure if they are still the resident pair.

Alison:
One adult at the nest today. This is not Jezebel, the new female (whose correct band numbers are S/72); it is probably Lucas.
