This is from Greg Septon -
Something very strange occurred on March 29 at the Valley Power Plant
nest box in downtown Milwaukee. In the 9 a.m. image, a falcon is
standing over 2 eggs with its beak pointed at the eggs. In the 10 a.m.
web cam image, the falcon is still standing over the eggs and appears as
if she's eating. In the 11 a.m. image, there is no sign of the eggs, and
one falcon is present. Then in the 12 p.m. image, there is a pair of
peregrines in a ledge display over the location where the eggs were.
Whether the falcon ate the eggs or removed them is a mystery - in any
case this is troubling.
And then today (Friday) - It looks like things may be back on track at
Valley. After the loss of the 2 eggs here earlier this week, it appears
the pair (maybe the same female - maybe not) has another egg. This egg
was laid in a different scrape from the first 2. It'll be interesting to
see where this all goes.
