Caring for Our Wildlife

Duke Energy cares for the environment and the wildlife that inhabits the areas around our facilities. That’s why our employees support a number of programs to monitor and protect Peregrine Falcons, Least Terns, Wood Ducks and Eagles.

Peregrine Falcons
Employees at our Miami Fort Station help to preserve the peregrine falcon. View a video clip, falcon images, and learn about our successful efforts to increase the number of peregrine falcons, one of the nation’s rarest birds.
Least Terns
Gibson Station employees work to construct a protective earthen levee and island where a least tern population can continue to grow.
Wood Ducks
East Bend Station employees conduct annual wood duck bandings to help sustain the Wood Duck population in our area for future generations.
