Merrillville Indiana
A new webcam added to the worldwide web of peregrinefalconcams on this Blog is the one in Merrillville Indiana.
Peregrines have nested in a box high on the Unit 14 stack at R.M. Schahfer Generating Station since 1998, fledging 20 young during that time. The female, Latesha, was fledged in 1999 at a power plant in Genoa, Wisconsin, and has nested at Schahfer since 2001. Her mate, Rollin, was fledged at U.S. Steel in Gary, Indiana in 1996 and has nested in Wheatfield since 1998. Latesha is Rollin's third mate in the eight years that she has nested at Schahfer Station.
