We Energies Launches Public Vote to Name Peregrine Chicks After WISN 12 Anchors

Winning names will go to falcon chicks due to hatch at the utility’s power plants in the coming days.

Overview

  • Voting is open now through May 5 on We Energies’ site, where customers can choose anchor-themed names for the chicks.
  • The company says the top vote-getters will be assigned to hatchlings at its plant nest boxes once the eggs break.
  • WISN published 12 pun-filled options drawn from its on-air team, including Beak Eason, Mark Birden, and Dario Melendeggs.
  • The contest highlights a decades-long nesting effort on power plants, which the program’s originator marked at 40 years on the job this year.
  • Peregrines favor tall structures for nesting, so utility boxes create safe ledges and give locals an easy way to follow the spring broods online.
