For many a year Orville sat by the scrape,
Along came Orion to help him escape;
Down to the ground he fledged with a whack,
Poor Orville in pieces is not coming back.

Yup, that about sums it up! 

Looks like B by main cam. She's all excited for the new day!  

and she's whining!! WOW

She just flew off at 6:10

No idea who replaced Diamante. When I went there a few days ago I only saw Glieg. I need a good scope or camera - I'm just using 10x50 binocs.

Interesting development as the pair of Pefas near the waterfront and found often at the ADM elevators near the Buffalo Bison Rod and Gun Club (Ohio and St. Claire Sts.) have not been seen in a few weeks.  Wondering if they broke up and the female found Yankee and the male found Glieg.

Three hundred feet atop one of the smokestacks at Mill Creek Power Plant, a Peregrine Falcon has found a unique place to hatch her eggs. Now the public can watch it all happen with a webcam perched right next to the mom to be. It's a view that's rare to see and now all eyes are on the falcon.

LG&E and the Department of Fish and Wildlife worked together to build a nest box for the falcon. She lay five eggs February 21 and they are expected to begin hatching sometime this week.
The webcam is the only one in Kentucky . The reason is two-fold, so the public can watch a rare sight and Fish and Wildlife can track this once endangered species.
