The money now goes to the state's unclaimed prize fund which can be used to increase other lottery prizes. There's a lot of activity around the top of a smoke stack at Cinergy's Miami Fort power plant. For the second straight year the plant's resident peregrine falcons are parents. The couple, River Ace and Mary Ellen, are now busy taking care of four baby peregrines, which are called eyasses. At hatch time, the eyasses are covered with white down, weigh about two ounces, and have a small white bump on their beaks.
Feathers replace their down coats in three to five weeks.
Peregrines may live 12 to 15 years. The four babies hatched between April 20 and 25. The power plant is in Miami Township, near North Bend, Ohio. All Rights Reserved.
