Name the Chicks

Help us name three new peregrine falcon chicks born at the Nebraska State Capitol!

A trio of peregrine falcon chicks — two females and one male — recently hatched atop the Nebraska State Capitol, and we need your help naming them! The recently banded fledglings are the first peregrine falcon chicks to be born in the Star City’s state capitol in eight years. Their parents, Jet (father) and Atlas (mother), were both banded as chicks in Kansas City in 2021 and 2022.

The individual who submits the winning name trio will receive a 1-year subscription to Nebraskaland Magazine. The winner will be contacted via email and also announced on our Nebraska Game and Parks social channels.
