About 200 species of birds are commonly seen in and around the water at our plants. In Arizona and New Mexico they include ducks, teals, loons, geese, owls, pelicans, hawks, falcons, sandpipers, roadrunners, doves, vultures, herons, sparrows, kingfishers, swallows, orioles, gulls, quail and more. Animals and reptiles also thrive around our power plants. They include deer, elk, antelope, bear, fox, coyotes, badgers, rabbits, ring-tail cats, rattlesnakes, gila monsters and others. We also have fish species in our lakes, mainly bass, catfish, bluegill and carp.
Wildlife management is more than following government regulations - it's essential.
At PWE, wildlife preservation is both a social obligation and a business strategy. If it flies, walks, slithers, crawls, hops, or swims, we want it to thrive in the areas around our power plants.
