Manitoba Peregrines > McKenzie Seeds Peregrines

Names for the Chicks

<< < (6/6)

The Peregrine Chick:
CBC Manitoba will be holding a Name the Chicks contest to name the 2013 Brandon chicks starting tomorrow morning on the Falcon Cam website.

Voting will last for 1 week.

The theme for this year's names came from the fact that this year's McKenzie Seeds chicks are very photogenic - more photogenic than any of our other chicks in fact.  So, being the little media stars they are, the choices are all famous actors/actress from the 1950s ....

Female Names:

* Garland - Judy Garland
* Hepburn - Katharine Hepburn or Audrey Hepburn
* Marilyn - Marilyn Monroe
* Mae - Mae West
* Kelly - Grace Kelly
Male Names:

* Astaire - Fred Astaire
* Guinness - Alec Guinness
* Bogart - Humphrey Bogart
* Spencer - Spencer Tracy
* Kelly - Gene Kelly
When we banded the chicks, we banded two as males, one as a female.  Having said that, one of the male chicks is larger and given that Hurricane was banded as a male, it is possible that the the large male, may actually be a female, but we won't know until/if the chick returns in a couple of years and nests somewhere.
