Thank you KF. :smile:

Your videos provide so much about the birds throughout the year, including staying around to protect their nest site after the kiddos leave. All looks calm, but we know this is all serious business.

Beautiful Birds in Pictures and Words by Allan Block

I stopped at the Port Washington Generating Station, Port Washington, Wisconsin to check on the resident pair of Peregrine Falcons. With information from WE ENERGIES Peregrine Falcon 2012 Nesting Season Report and the leg band information, this should be an adult female, Indy Foorna. Peregrines mate for life and could live for 15 years. She and a male raised four young chicks successfully.

Battle between falcons claims peregrine chicks at Pleasant Prairie power plant

A battle between falcons at the We Energies power plant in Pleasant Prairie ended in the death of three of four chicks at the site.

The attack was mentioned in the Wisconsin Falconwatch 2013 Nesting Season Report issued last week and produced by peregrine researcher Greg Septon, a We Energies contract worker.

A female peregrine attacked the chicks’ mother in their nest box on the power plant’s emissions stack on June 6, Septon wrote in the report. Two chicks died during the battle and a third succumbed the next day. They had been bystanders in the fracas.

Septon had banded the four male chicks in May in front of an audience of Vernon Elementary School students, who chose names for the birds.

Raging hormones

Septon said the intruder apparently wanted to take over the nest box.

“In spring, like with all animals, peregrines are programmed to reproduce, and they go out and look for a mate,” he said. “The battle was not a great thing to have happened, and it makes you sad, but it’s part of nature. Nature isn’t always pretty
