Staff from Mayo’s Department of Facilities and several falcon experts retrieved the chicks from their nest box and transported them to the auditorium, where they were weighed, banded, given a quick health exam and officially named. This year, the falcon team received over 3,000 name suggestions from more than 700 falcon fans. 

Zepher, Mylo, Vega and Belle are growing fast so be sure to keep up with their progress on the website and the Mayo Clinic Peregrine Falcon Program Facebook page.
