2023 Name the Chicks Contest


We need your help to choose names for Ella’s and Pip’s four chicks at the Radisson Hotel!

For those who follow our FalconCam from year to year you will know that we like themes for names when we can find ones that are worthy. This year was surprisingly difficult until I ran across an account of the new space flight mission to the Moon and realized that with all the talk of manned missions to Mars it has been 50 odd years since we were on the moon so this year’s theme is Missions to Space. And since peregrine means “wanderer” and North American peregrine falcon subspecies have the longest migrations in the world, it seemed like a decent fit. I’ve listed the female names first because our lone female chick (and I think our oldest chick) deserves to not get lost behind a crowd of male chick names.

You get to choose 2 male names & 1 female name.
