Web Poll Up- Vote to Name The Falcon Chicks!

Thanks again to the students at Griffith Thomas Elementary School in Dublin for hosting this year's naming contest for the Columbus chicks! Students from grades 1 through 5 submitted close to 600 names! A panel of wildlife partners and local media narrowed the names down to these 6 finalists:
DART
BLAZE
FLAME
MYSTERY
HOSHI (Japanese for "star")
SONIC*
Voting will continue through 8 am on Tuesday, May 13th.
*Note:  Long time fans may remember Sonic was used in 2005 for a male chick.  Since that time we've had no sightings of Sonic and it has been over 5 years since the name was used.  According to our contest guidelines that name is eligible to be used again.
