Congratulations to Wendy C. for winning the naming contest!
     
The Ameren Missouri Sioux Energy Center employees gave the female falcon her name - SiouxZee (Sue-Zee), but we didn't have a name for the male falcon. To help us find a suitable name, we asked viewers to submit their suggestions. We received 162 names, and one of those names, Coal, was selected by our committee to be the male falcon's name. Wendy C. was the first person to submit the name Coal - she is our winner!

Wendy C. not only gets bragging rights but she also becomes an adopt-a-bird parent to Sirrocco, a male peregrine falcon that calls World Bird Sanctuary home.
