This week's Falcon Friday is a special one. Meet the newest members of MGE’s falcon family! 🦅

Two peregrine falcon chicks hatched in mid-May at our Blount Generating Station—and now they have names: Honey and Monarch! 🐝🦋

This year’s names are inspired by pollinators, recognizing the important role bees, butterflies and other pollinators play in our ecosystem. Honey (a female) is named for honey bees, while Monarch (a male) honors monarch butterflies.

Pollinators are vital to helping plants grow and produce food, but their habitats are shrinking. That’s why MGE is working to support them by planting native flowers and creating pollinator-friendly habitats at our solar sites—and even welcoming honey bees to our O’Brien Solar Fields in Fitchburg this spring.

These two chicks are part of a long legacy—more than 60 falcons have hatched at MGE since 2009!

👀 Watch Honey and Monarch grow (and get ready to fly!) on our Falcon Cam. Tune in at www.mge.com/falcons.

⚠️ Scam Alert: Stay Safe and Protect Yourself ⚠️

Utility scams are on the rise—and they can happen by phone, text, email or even in person. Scammers may pretend to be from MGE, demanding immediate payment or threatening to disconnect your service. But here’s the truth: that’s not MGE!

Here are a few important tips to keep in mind:

🔹 MGE will NOT demand immediate payment or ask you to pay with prepaid cards, wire transfers or in person.
🔹 Customers receive written notice before any disconnection for nonpayment.
🔹 Never share personal or financial information during an unsolicited call, text or email.
🔹 If someone comes to your door, ask for ID—all MGE employees and contractors carry official identification.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. Hang up, close the door and call MGE directly at 608-252-7000 to verify before taking any action.

Help stop scams by staying informed and looking out for one another.

Happy Falcon Friday! 🐣

Talk about a growth spurt! Our peregrine falcon chicks are changing fast—going from fluffy little hatchlings to strong, feathered birds in just a matter of weeks. 💙

Here are a few fun facts about how they’re growing up:

🪶 Feeding time is a family affair.
Parents tear prey into bite-sized pieces and carefully feed each chick by beak. Falcons don’t regurgitate food like some birds—they deliver fresh meals multiple times a day, fueling that rapid growth.

⚡ Growth is lightning-fast.
In just about 5–6 weeks, chicks go from tiny fluffballs to nearly full-sized birds. Their growing feathers are quickly replacing that soft white down.

🪽 They practice “flying” before they fly.
Before fledging, chicks build strength by flapping, hopping and balancing along the ledge—sometimes called “wingercising”—getting ready for their first leap into the sky.

Stay tuned as these young falcons continue to grow and get closer to fledging!
