Greg Septon reported that Pete Dempseys, a plant employee, first reported a pair of peregrines here on March 13th. On May 3rd, Greg visited the site and found Smokey (b/g) 82/A, in 2003 from the Edgewater site in Sheboygan, WI. This is her 4th year at this site. The adult male is Ceptyn (b/g) N/Y, a 2002 wild-produced bird from We Energies Port Washington Generating Station. This is only the second time Greg has found a clutch of 6 eggs. The last time was in 2006 when 6 eggs were laid at the Edgewater Generating Station site in Sheboygan, WI. Interestingly, they were laid by “Liberty” (b/r) E/*D -- Smokey’s mother! Four females and 1 male were banded on June 16, 2007. 66. SP-WPS Weston Power Plant Rothschild, Marathon County, Wisconsin. Greg Septon and Tom McLean reported an unbanded female paired with a b/g adult male, same as last year. Four eggs were laid and one female and two males were banded on May 29, 2007. On June 11th, Dave Polster, a Weston employee, found the adult male, with a projectile injury to his right wing, on the ground. He was identified as Ozzy b/g K/Z and was permanently disabled. 67. SP-StoraEnso Kimberly Mill, Kimberly, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. Greg Septon and Bob Vanthiel reported that five-year-old Louise b/g V/U hatched in 2002 at the Ameren UE Labadie Power Station in St. Louis, MO paired with an unidentified male. The pair at this site lost their clutch last year when a rainstorm flooded their nest site. Four eggs were laid in the new nest box placed there last summer. Four young, one female and three males, were banded on June 5, 2007. 68. SP-Thilmany Mill, Kaukauana, Outagamie County, Wisconsin. New Site. Last spring an unidentified adult male and an immature female identified as “Nora” (b/g) P/76 were present at this site but no eggs were laid. Nora was wild-produced in 2005 at the Graysolon Plaza in Duluth, MN. This year a pair of falcons arrived on site during the first week of March according to Tony Giordano and egg laying was documented in April by Greg Schuh. During banding, Greg Septon set up his scope on the roof near the nest box and was able to ID the adult male as Ian b/g 71/N, a falcon produced at We Energies Port Washington Generating Station in 2004. Four eggs were laid, three hatched and two females and one male were banded on June 14, 2007. 20
69. SP-Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant, Kewaunee, Kewaunee County, Wisconsin. Craig Long reported that falcons were present at this site in 2007, and in late June were observed to be tending a single fledged youngster. Adults were never identified and the juvenile was not banded. 70. SP-Alliant Columbia Generating Station, Pacific Township, Columbia County, Wisconsin. Scott Wilson reported that on July 6th he witnessed two adult falcons with five young. Two of the young were being fed a pigeon on the boiler roof. When Greg Septon visited this site on July 19th he observed at least 3 young at one time and 2 others tucked away on the other side of the plant about 10 minutes later so its likely all five young were still around. The adults were observed, but not identified. 71. SP-Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Bridge, Prescottk, Pierce County, Wisconsin. Jenn Veith first observed peregrines at this site in 2006. Jackie Fallon and Bud Tordoff who monitored the site this year documented nesting at the site. This nest site is situated on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad lift bridge that crosses the Mississippi River at Prescott, WI. In 2007, the peregrines nested on the east portion of the bridge so they are being counted as a Wisconsin pair. Two young fledged here but because of dangers associated with accessing the nest site, they were not banded. Bud Tordoff identified the adult male as Butler (b/g) 19/N who was produced in 2004 at the Cargill Elevator nest site in Red Wing, MN. Special note: <strong>Peregrine</strong> nest sites on cliffs and powerplant stacks along the section of the Mississippi River between Monticello, Minnesota and LaCrosse, Wisconsin, as well as sites on both side of the river in Iowa are monitored and managed by Bob Anderson and the Raptor Resource <strong>Project</strong>. 72.
