Nope - just having problems posting, so couldn't add the link:

Thanks for posting this link, Alison. But when I clicked on it, I could not locate a webcam. :(

The link is the same for several webcams - Oak Creek, Pleasant Prairie, Valley Power, etc. Presque Isle is the third heading from the top, after the two Oak Creek nests. Pics are updated just once an hour - click on any of the times listed to see the pics.

There is ongoing activity at the nest, which is encouraging. Perhaps the falcons have a nest close by, and are using the nest box as a place to feed and/or as a lookout.

There was a pair at the nest today:

2014 NESTING SEASON

From Greg at WE Energies ...

With the cold winter, I wasn’t surprised that I didn’t spot a peregrine in the nest box here until Feb. 22. Last year, the first sighting was on Feb. 12. Scot Stewart reported an observer witnessing an eagle attack a long-tailed duck near the plant on Feb. 23 only to be driven off by a peregrine!  The first egg was laid here on April 10 last year.

2016 NESTING SEASON

The resident female at this site was born at the Grand Haven, Michigan nest in 2008. She is banded black/green *P/*S, and as far as I know she is unnamed.

Since there is no inside view of the nest at the moment, I don't know if there are eggs here yet.

Winter at Presque Isle (these pics are from today, April 6):
