It may not have felt like it, but spring is well upon us, as is evident by the first peregrine falcon egg of the season at a WPS power plant.
Proud parents Sheldon and an unbanded female falcon welcomed their first egg at the Weston Plant last weekend.
This is Sheldon’s 10th year nesting at the Weston Power Plant and likely the second for the unbanded female falcon.
The two peregrine parents will take turns incubating the egg over the next few weeks.
If all goes well, the couple’s first fluffy chick of the year should hatch in about a month.
Live nest box cameras are available for all WPS power plants in the state at WECEnergyGroup.com.
