Mill Creek Falcon Cam

2026 update: Five chicks have hatched!

After the return earlier this spring of Diana and Perry, the resident peregrine falcons at LG&E’s Mill Creek Generating Station, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife on May 19 banded three chicks that hatched this year. The two males and one female now sport small metal tags that will help KDFWR track them over their lifetimes. Also two chicks at Ghent hatched this season. Watch the falcon cam to see our Mill Creek falcons learning to fly!

“Our decades-long relationship with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has continued to help the peregrine falcon population prosper over the years, not only in Kentucky but across the United States,” said Cody Gibbons, environmental coordinator III at the Mill Creek Generating Station. “We’re thrilled to have so many people from around the world see our feathered friends up close, all while learning about our larger efforts to protect the natural environment.”

Michael Patton, KDFWR avian biologist, added, “We thank LG&E and KU for continuing to protect the peregrine falcon population, all while educating the public about the importance of environmental stewardship. It’s taken the hard work of so many committed employees at LG&E and KU over the years to help this once endangered species soar to new heights.”
