Would you name a child after a Brewers or Bucks player? That is what We Energies is doing, but with the newly born peregrine falcons at their Oak Creek and Valley power plants.
So far five chicks have been born this spring, and they want to use the current success of Milwaukee’s pro teams to remember them by.
Through May 17th, people can go online and choose one name based on a past or present Bucks player, and one name based on a past or present Brewers player.
The standing after two weeks of voting are as follow.
Bucks
1. 54.5% – The Beak Freak- In honor of Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. 25.1% – Sky Hook – In honor of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. 8.7% – The Little O – In honor of Oscar Robertson
4. 4% – Ray Ray – In honor of Ray Allen
5. 3.7% – Sir Sid – In honor of Sidney Moncrief
Brewers
1. 26.4% – Yeli – In honor of Christian Yelich
2. 15.4% – Hammer – In honor of Hank Aaron
3. 15.4% – Prince – In honor of Prince Fielder
4. 12.4% – Rockin’ Robin – In honor of Robin Yount
5. 10% – Coop – In honor of Cecil Cooper
The top names at the end of the vote will be used for the chicks.
People can also watch the peregrine falcons on web cameras set up at their nesting boxes.
