Jackson's peregrine falcon chicks officially named by Citizen Patriot readers
A quick explanation about the top four vote-getters:
— Millie (585 votes) — Suggested by lesliegirl, this name references Miller Shoe Parlor. The store sits across the street from the county building and is run by county board Chairman Steve Shotwell, who happens to be a falcon enthusiast.
— Cascade (567 votes) — The Cascades, of course, are Jackson's lighted waterfalls. Suggested by george1965 and by a Facebook reader, this was the most popular name that references a Jackson landmark or culture.
— Coney (548 votes) — We all know Jackson has the best coneys in Michigan, right? This came from an email from reader, who wrote, "I like the Jackson-themed names, and would add 'Coney' for fun."
— Tower (505 votes) — Suggested because of the Jackson County Tower Building, the tallest building in the county and the home to the falcons. As with Cascade, this was offered by a Facebook reader and by george1965.

Dixie was great! She and Yankee flew circles around the tower as they could hear their babies screaming, but Dixie was not as crazy as BB used to get, trying to force herself over the board and ripping her feathers apart! We didn't leave til everything was calmed down and the kids were hunkered down and comparing notes about their abduction by aliens!
When the cam finally came on later today, Dixie was in there giving the kids a fresh meal.
Thank you, glad she was being as good as she could! Now she knows!!
