Pulliam Power Plant chicks

Lono – submitted by Malakai Naidow-Romitti, a kindergarten student at Aldo Leopold Community School in Green Bay. “Lono is the name of a Hawaiian god of rainfall and agriculture, and is often known as the one with his head in the clouds,” explained Malakai. “I think it would be a great name for a baby bird!”
Hen Solo – submitted by Savannah Swanke, a sixth-grade student at Carl Traeger Middle School in Oshkosh. “Han Solo is one of my dad’s favorite movie characters, which is how I thought of Hen Solo,” said Savannah.
Millennium – submitted by Tyler Arvey, a fourth-grade student at Langlade Elementary School in Green Bay. “The Millennium Falcon is a fast-flying spaceship from ‘Star Wars,’” wrote Tyler. “Peregrine falcons also fly fast, and the name is cool!”
Weston Power Plant chicks

Starlight – submitted by Ford Eberhardy, a fifth-grade student at Riverside Elementary School in Ringle. “I chose this name because peregrine falcons are nocturnal, and they look amazing swooping through the air under the light of the stars,” shared Ford.
Wisco-Spirit – submitted by Brady Lokken, a fifth-grade student enrolled in the Kidstown USA program in Mosinee, and Layla Yang, an eighth-grade student at Goodman-Armstrong Creek School. Brady’s entry of Wisco and Layla’s entry of Spirit were combined due to one of the eggs not hatching after all winning entries had been selected. “I chose Wisco because it is the first five letters in Wisconsin,” explained Brady. “When birds fly, they look so free and graceful,” Layla wrote. “Spirits are everywhere. They are amazing, and so are falcons.”
Phoenix – submitted by Sage Mischnick, a third-grade student enrolled in the Kidstown USA program in Mosinee. “I chose this name because phoenixes are fast, talented, mythical birds,” Sage wrote.
The chicks will officially be named during a banding event later this month.

Each student who submitted a winning entry will receive a certificate, a photograph with the peregrine falcon chick, an invitation to the banding and a tour of the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary's Birds of Prey exhibit for the student's entire class.

Last year, “Serenity,” “Orville” and “Morgan Freebird” were among the eight winning names selected.

Since 1996, more than 90 peregrine falcons have hatched inside WPS nesting boxes. The power company hopes to increase the population of the endangered species in the state.

Until they fly away, livestreams of the chicks' nesting boxes will be available:

I love the shot with both parents.

The one in the back reached over and grabbed a couple of big bites, but nobody looked really starving with their crops.

Happening now!
A Peregrine Falcon chick from the Weston Power Plant in Rothschild, WI was found on the ground after the severe wind and rain storm tonight. Thank you to WPS Todd Steffen for rescuing it and for arranging transport to REGI for care.
No serious injuries were visible, but x-rays will be done tomorrow.
Thank you to Deniale and Matthew Steffan for transporting the little one in the severe storm late tonight.

We are taking many calls tonight about birds in trouble due to the storm.
