Falcon Cam

This spring two Peregrine Falcons successfully raised three eyasses at the Horizon Milling facility in Lake City MN. The Mother, Lolo, was born at the Excel Energy High Bridge plant in St. Paul, MN in 2001. Earlier this year, she was spotted at the Dairyland Power Plant in Alma WI, but was displaced by another bird before coming to Lake City. The Father, Gretch, was born at the Dairyland Power Plant in Genoa WI in 2000. The eggs you see below were laid in early April, and hatched mid May.



On June 2, 2003, Bob Anderson, from the Raptor Resource Project, along with the assistance of some Horizon Milling and community people banded the young with identification tags. Blood samples were also taken to check the health. A Bluffview Elementary 3rd grade class, in Lake City, named the young birds.

The eyasses grew their adult feathers and began flying in late June. Occasionally, they still visit the nest box atop the elevator in Lake City. We look forward to seeing Falcons again next Feb/March.
