Photo Gallery - Peregrine Falcons 2005
Name the Falcon Chicks Contest Winners
Aurora – submitted by Kim Irion, 8th grader at Notre Dame of De Pere. Kim chose her name because Aurora Borealis (scientific name for the Northern Lights) is "beautiful sights" in the sky — just like birds in flight.
Snow Drop – submitted by Taylor Kaderabek, 1st grader at Monroe Elementary School in Manitowoc. Taylor chose the name because the peregrine falcon in flight reminds her of snowdrops.
Winners of the naming contest and their families were invited to attend and participate in the banding of the chick that was held on Wednesday, May 25. They had their photograph taken with the falcon chick, and received a class field trip to the Neville Public Museum.
