Falcon season 2022

Welcome back to the 2022 falcon cam season! The chicks were recently banded. Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) attach a leg band to each chick with a unique color, letters, and number combination. This identifying information is then entered into a database along with each bird's gender, date of hatching and nesting place. This database is available for all departments of fish and wildlife in North America as a way to track and identify the falcons.

Since 1999, 172 chicks have been banded by KDFWR at LG&E and KU generating stations.  In 2021, there were three successful nests at LG&E and KU facilities. Two of these pairs used a nest box. The third pair nested on a beam, under a coal conveyer. Peregrines were briefly visited at a fourth LG&E and KU site, but there was no nesting. Also in 2021, LG&E and KU nests produced eight eggs and seven chicks. All of the chicks fledged successfully.
