Peregrine Falcons Nest At We Energies' Oak Creek Power Plant

We Energies has several peregrine falcons that are starting to nest and lay eggs at their power plants in Oak Creek.

Watch the peregrine falcon nest and hatch real time on We Energies live webcams at the Oak Creek and Pleasant Prairie power plants.

The webcam at Pleasant Prairie and Oak Creek just went live. The birds at both locations have produced eggs and customers can monitor their progress. The eggs will likely hatch in early May.

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.

After this batch of eggs hatch, almost 200 falcons will have been born at We Energies power plants and since 1992, about 20 percent of Wisconsin's peregrine population have been hatched at We Energies.Β
