Xcel Energy High Bridge Falcons

The High Bridge falcons are nesting on the top of a turbine building at Xcel’s High Bridge natural gas plant in St. Paul, MN. A large meadow over the site of the plant’s former coalyard also contains chimney swift towers and beehives, and the Mississippi River and the City of St. Paul provide ample prey - especially pigeons and other urban species. This site was first productive in 2000.
