Our new Bald Eagle has a name!
In
late Fall or early Winter our newest Bald Eagle will arrive - and you've
helped us pick a name!
Over 20,000 of you enjoyed voting
recently at CivicFest in Minneapolis to help us choose a name for our
young male. The final count is in, and "Wasa’ka", the Dakota
name for strength is
the winner! Here are the results:
Was' aka: 42.5 %
Apollo: 32 %
Halia: 12.5 %
Franklin: 8%
North Star: 5%
Thank you for your help!
