Three new peregrine falcon chicks that hatched last month atop University of California's famous bell tower now have names after a contest that received thousands of votes.
The chicks on UC Berkeley's Campanile tower are now named Zephyr, Rosa and Luna after nearly 3,700 votes were cast in a contest held by the Cal Falcons group of scientists and volunteers who monitor the birds and share photos and information about them on social media, the group said Friday.
Each chick had leg bands placed on them that will stay in place for the rest of their lives and are used to differentiate the falcons from others in the area. Blue electrical tape is on one female chick's leg band and red tape is on the other female, while the male chick received yellow tape on his band.
