We Energies' falcon chicks named after Wisconsin's fastest Olympians

OAK CREEK, Wis. (CBS 58) -- We Energies on Thursday, May 23, named their newest peregrine falcons at the Oak Creek power plant. 

Three of the baby chicks were born just 20 days ago. They're the fastest animal in the world hitting speeds up to 200 mph. 

This year, the birds are being named after some of Wisconsin's fastest Olympian speedskaters. 

Five-time gold medalist Bonnie Blair says she couldn't wait to be "Birdie Blair." 

"I think we all feel pretty special that all the Olympians that were named for all the peregrines here through We Energies is just a super cool thing that we can all share together," said Blair.
