Name the Eaglets
Our "Name the Eaglets Competition" will begin on Wednesday, March 23; the contest will run for 30 days, ending on April 23, 2005.
Registration will be at our partner site: WildCam.com. You will need to register to submit your names and to see what names are already taken, but registration is free, and WildCam will not share your email address with any third party. If you registered with WildCam a while back when our cam went down, you can use that registration information again.
You can submit as many names as you like for the three chicks, as long as the names have not been submitted by another person.
The staff at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland will choose the winners of the contest. Winners will receive a certificate and a special eagle surprise, as well as recognition on our website.
Check in on Wednesday at the WildCam.com home page and look for the contest link. And we hope you have fun picking out names for the eaglets!
