http://lge-ku.com/falcon/ Cam

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.

To keep everyone occupied while we wait for the Rochester Falcons to lay eggs. I thought everyone might like to see these hatching and beginning their lives: http://www.lge-ku.com/falcon/default.asp

This pair of KY falcons have five hatchlings, and they've posted a whole set of "milestone videos" including hatching, feedings, egg-layings, etc.

Sweet! I haven't managed to get this cam to play for me, so the videos are extra special!

I don't have any trouble getting the cam but haven't been watching it too much.   I found this pic on BCAW-guess the little one didn't get any food and starved, according to posts.  sorrow
