You Can Help Name The Peregrine Falcon Chicks in Rockford
I've been OBSESSED with the falcons on top of the Rockford Register Star building for months. I get to work and when I'm opening up all the tabs on my computer I need for the day, I NEVER forget to open up the live video feed.
Mama Louise and her man Lil Kool have been on my radar for a while, but now I've got three new little babies to watch every day. And let me be the first to say, they are so adorable. But what do we call them? That's where you come in.
Members of the community can now officially nominate names for the three peregrine falcon chicks that hatched last week.
Names must be submitted online, which allows the submissions to be time stamped. If multiple entries occur for the same name, the first person to nominate the winning name will receive the prize.
