Little cutie at Genoa sitting on the edge of the nestbox, bobbing his head while his brothers and sisters snooze....

At Genoa, 2 in the box. Little brother must have a rubber neck the way he can turn his head way around one way, and then turn it all around the other way. Sister is just perched quietly, she looks rather warm....

At Alma I saw one little cutie perched on the lip of the nest box.

Genoa~I have no idea what we're watching...could be crows, could be the fledglings, could be the adults...its just a challenge to catch the "dots" moving or flying!!

Good luck...

Neat, SGB. a new view! I checked Genoa's nestbox a bit ago, and found one falcon tip-toeing around the nest box, then stopping to look at its feet.... It seemed large so at first I thought it was Roschen, but then I thought of several tiercels that I have seen do that....

Bird Cam,
Nearly 100 Peregrine falcons have fledged via Dairyland program

Welcome!

The 2014 Peregrine Falcon nesting season at Dairyland’s power plant sites was a great success. All seven chicks—three at the Alma Site nesting box and four at the Genoa Site nesting box—successfully fledged in July.

Dairyland’s Peregrine Falcon Restoration Program began in the mid-1990s. Including this year’s hatch, 96 falcon chicks have successfully fledged from Dairyland’s nesting sites in Alma and Genoa, Wis.

Season in review

The 2014 Peregrine Falcon nesting season at Dairyland sites began with the arrival of a Peregrine to Dairyland's Genoa Site nesting box on Feb. 20. The falcon was 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.

Roschen, the female Peregrine at the Genoa Site nesting box, fledged from Horizon Milling in Lake City, Minn., in 2012.The Genoa falcon pair incubated four eggs.

The returning male at the Alma Site nesting box was Kiwi. Originally, Hedwig returned to the site, however she was displaced by a different female, Power. (Power was the nesting female at the Alma Site in 2012.) The Alma falcon pair incubated four eggs, three of which hatched.
(I can't find anything right now about her band numbers)
The seven falcon chicks received U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bands for tracking purposes. Although they have fledged, the adult “parent” Peregrines will likely remain at the Dairyland nesting boxes until fall migration in October… so keep checking the Bird Cam!

Just saw a beautiful, bright-eyed juvie sitting on the perch at Genoa.

Genoa -- I just found a very warm, sleepy adult falcon at the nestbox. Yawning, scratching, dozing off...zzzzzzzzzz

Wow! Great catch, SGB! Were you surprised to find it sitting there? It has white on its head... is it from a different sub - species?
