Plant manager Jenny Bulach, holds a peregrine falcon chick after it was banded for identification and examined by Indiana Department of Natural Resources biologists at the Duke Energy Gallagher Station plant in New Albany on Wednesday morning. The Indiana DNR maintains a nesting box for the birds on one of the plant's stacks, which is similar to the cliffs where they instinctually nest in the wild. Peregrine falcons are endangered in the state of Indiana, but they are no longer on the federal list of threatened and endangered species in the United States. Staff photo by Christopher Fryer
