A few weeks ago, eight peregrine falcons were born in Wisconsin Public Service’s nest boxes across the state, and the company held a contest to see who would get to name them.
Almost 12,000 votes were cast and now we have our wining names. They are Cream Puff, Bubbler, Kringle, Scoop, Brandy, Tundra, Blaze and Hoppy. Each of the names represent a different aspect of Wisconsin culture.
WPS and We Energies are part of a statewide effort to restore the peregrine falcon population. Since the Mid-90’s, 402 peregrine falcons have been born at their facilities across the state. T
he falcons are drawn to tall structures along Lake Michigan or major rivers, which make many of the WPS and We Energies facilities ideal nesting sites.
