Name the Rockford Peregrine Falcon Chicks
Did you know that the official city bird of Rockford is the Peregrine Falcon? Not only that, we have a female falcon named Louise who lives atop the Rockford Register Star Building. There s a live camera set up on her nesting site. Every year a male falcon comes to Rockford, and they have chicks.
This year Brian, a falcon from Wisconsin won Louise s heart.
If you re a bird lover, or even just somebody who works from home and needs some entertainment, this live feed is action packed. Especially now that the babies are hatching. Louise laid 5 eggs, and the hope is there will be 5 chicks. The best part is that Rockford gets to help name the chicks.
Many of the awards were presented at this week s Illinois Press Association virtual convention.
The work includes five first-place awards four from the Illinois Press Association, one from the Illinois Associated Press Media Editors during contests judged by journalists from the North Carolina Press Association. It also includes an award from the nationwide Associated Press Sports Editors contest.
The Journal Star also placed second in the sweepstakes category for medium-sized daily papers, based on the strength of its individual awards. The paper competes against suburban and downstate media outlets including the (Springfield) State Journal Register, Rockford Register-Star, the (Bloomington) Pantagraph and the Northwest Herald of Crystal Lake. The News-Gazette of Champaign won the division s trophy for the seventh consecutive year.
