At the Madison Audubon meeting this week it was announced that the MGE
Peregrine Falcons are back at the nest box.
Seems there are 3 hanging around, 1 male and 2 females. The females
are discussing (fighting) who gets to nest there.
They were 1st reported on 2/7 much earlier than last year. Normally
Dianne Echelbarger would post this info to this list serve
but sadly I learned on Tues that she passed away last week after a
courageous battle with cancer.
Dianne was relatively new to birding and she worked near the MGE plant
and could keep an eye on the falcons during the nesting season.
She also liked reporting her new yard birds that visited her home in
Stoughton. And she had flying squirrels raiding her feeders at night
which delighted her.
Rest in Peace Dianne.
