LIVE VIDEO: We Energies peregrine falcon webcam in Oak Creek
We Energies is inviting Real Milwaukee viewers to watch this year’s peregrine falcon nesting activity via live webcams at we-energies.com. CLICK HERE for live video of the Falcon nest in Oak Creek. The eggs are expected to hatch in early May. Customers can then follow the chicks online until they take flight! Customers now can watch the activity inside the nest box at the Oak Creek Power Plant as well as our Pleasant Prairie Power Plant, which was the first to go live last year. Our resident falcons already have produced eggs at both the Oak Creek and Pleasant Prairie sites. New chicks also will be arriving at the company’s power plants in Port Washington, Milwaukee and Marquette, Mich. Activity at these sites is being captured via webcam still photos that are being updated hourly at we-energies.com. Since 1992, approximately 20 percent of Wisconsin’s peregrine population has been hatched at We Energies facilities. After this nesting season, the number of falcons born at our power plants will be nearing 200. Learn more about the company’s efforts at we-energies.com/falcons.
