Artemis: Goddess of the hunt and We Energies falcon

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, is a perfect name for a bird of prey like the peregrine falcon. That name was chosen by 11-year-old Nina Marks, one of our special guests at a falcon banding at the Milwaukee County Power Plant in Wauwatosa.

Artemis has two brothers - Busby and Murdock. The three were the final We Energies falcons to be named and banded this season. Murdock was named by employees at Milwaukee County Power Plant. Busby was named by our peregrine manager, Greg Septon, in honor of his close friend, John Busby, who recently passed away. John Busby was a well-known wildlife artist whose work included paintings and drawings of peregrine falcons.

Thanks for the good news about the Milwaukee county chicks being banded, Kittenface! I'm so glad Asa was there helping Tahoe this year. Thanks for the slide show, too! The video embedded in your slideshow was interesting, too. They have 12 peregrine pairs in Kentucky!

Yes I agree, it seems that the one has made it back to Pleasant Prairie.
Also they seem to be gone out & about at Port Washington.

Milwaukee Co. Is on the live cam! One juvie looking around the nestbox, another in sight on the ledge....

Thanks again for the slideshow, Kittenface- seems so odd to see all those nests empty, and the Port Washington mom enjoying a nice quiet meal all to herself!

Power plant falcons fly the coop

Artemis, Busby and Murdock at Milwaukee County
Power Plant nest box.
Most of the peregrine falcon chicks born at our power plant nest boxes
this spring have fledged.

There are empty nest boxes in Pleasant Prairie, Oak Creek, Port Washington and Milwaukee at our Valley Power Plant.

But you still have a little time to watch the remaining chicks at two other sites. Our live falcon cam is focused on the Milwaukee County Power Plant in Wauwatosa where Artemis, Busby
and Murdock are getting ready to fledge. They’re expected to take flight around July 2.

Chicks remain at our power plant in Marquette, Michigan, as well. Seppie, Wompus and Spencer also are expected to leave their nest box at our Presque Isle Power Plant around July 2. Hourly photos are available from their nest box at the link below.

Thanks for the slideshow of the WE families, Kittenface! I have to laugh at the one catch of momma Tahoe sitting out on the perch getting a little peace and quiet while the babies are still pretty much penned up in the nestbox.... That won't last much longer.....
