I wouldn't give up yet. It is only the end of May. I was in Richmond in mid august a couple of years ago watching first fledges of a second clutch. Let's see 35 days to incubate plus 39 days to fledging. That's 74 days. Given my inaccurate counting, how does aug 15 sound?
Sounds good to me Bonnie, I'll be there with feathers on! |

I am also wondering where Beauty is. I hope we get a report from the on-the-scene watchers tonight.
B was last seen before 5 pm tonight is what I am gathering from the reports. Is that correct? But she has not been seen since then?
But looking at watcher reports, it seems that Archer is bonding more to Unity, and Beauty is or has been rejecting Archer? Sad at all of this is, it is fascinating to watch.
. We are so used to watching them on camera that it is hard to not "see" what is going on-- especially at this time of year when it is hatching time/even banding time during other years!
We may never know all the answers to this year's happenings, but it is one for the archives!
By now you'll have seen Beauty is on her favorite perch...5th column on Xerox south side. The watchers are stretched pretty thin right now. Keep in mind that we're not seeing everything...as much time as Archer has spent at KP today, he's been pretty much at TS full time for the past few days. He's just bonding like any peregrine would with his mate(s) at this point in the year. Whether any of it will produce more eggs remains to be seen. But they're all just doing what peregrines do. Agreed Ei! and remember this is a holiday weekend. Yet more drama on a holiday weekend. What is up with that! Many Watchers are not available that would normally be out and about. I remained at KP because two falcons were there. Joyce said that she would check on Beauty when she dropped off MAK. I'm really glad she found her. We could sure use help if any locals would like to volunteer.  Man I wish I were a local! I wish you were too Donna! You would make a wonderful Falcon Watcher!  Thanks, it's what I want to be when I grow up!  |

The two peregrine falcon chicks hatched in a nesting box atop the J.P. Pullman Power Plant in Green Bay now have adorable names to go with those adorable faces. More than 400 classes and children submitted names in the annual contest sponsored by Wisconsin Public Service and Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. The selection committee chose the winning names as: Cliff: Submitted by the kindergarten class of Zion Lutheran School of Wayside in Greenleaf, after learning the falcons often nest on skyscrapers, water towers, tall structures and cliffs. Champ: Submitted by Eliza Kruszynski, a sixth-grader at St. Thomas Moore School in Green Bay, in honor of the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl XLV victory. The WPS nesting box has produced 52 chicks since it was built in 1995 on the roof of the plant near the mouth of the Fox River. Four eggs were laid between March 25 and April 6 this year, with two of them hatching. The chicks will be banded on Tuesday. — Kendra Meinert/Press-Gazette    |
