sky, thats Flopsy n Mopsy - the sisters.
Those names wont fit them next week - but sure fit today! :egglaugh:

I kinda hope Koppie will be the name for Male.
But I still like Star and Spangle for the girls.

bon - very nice fb entry

Food drop at noon...and the sisters battled it out. Their brother couldn't be bothered by their antics and petty ways, and so just stayed out of the way and watched...he never did eat..and when the sisters were finished, they went and pestered him...

Well, I know of one special follower who is going to be a happy woman :teehee:

otherwise read it and weep:

With more than 1,500 submissions, we're very pleased to announce the results of the falcon naming contest!
Drum roll, please!.......
Cade, Koppie & Burnham "Burnsie"
These names represent some great leaders in the conservation movement.
Tom Cade, Ph. D., founding chairman and director of The Peregrine Fund, http://www.peregrinefund.org/people/cade-tom
Craig Koppie, raptor biologist with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office, who has devoted his career to these majestic birds, once nearly eradicated. He is also responsible arranging medical attention for the male eyas, now named Koppie, as well as banding and studying the falcons at this site for many years.
William A. Burnham, former president of The Peregrine Fund. He served with the organization from 1974 through his death in 2006. http://www.peregrinefund.org/people/burnham-bill
The drawing for the winner of the falcon plush will take place later this week. Thank you to everyone who took time to participate in the falcon naming contest.

I am glad Craig is honored! I sure hope thats the male!! Pretty dumb to pick 3 male names when 2 are females.
If Cade is the girl and pronounced like Katie I like it.

OOPS - me n SWIN posted at the same time!
