Urmas wrote in his article about the names:

It seems that each nest camera has generated its own core observers. They could for instance summarize the results after a week (by 27th), and choose the names from the suggestions.

This was actually already yesterday. So I have put together the suggestions for the names and it looks like this:

For the nest at cam 1 - Mari and Mihkel - we got these suggestions:

For the oldest chick:

Mario I
Väike Võitleja I
Meelis II
Jaak I
Villu I
Maarjo I
Maie I
Mare II
Max III

For the middle chick:

Mati I
Võileib I
Maie II
Liisa I
Liine I
Maarjo I
Mati II
Midi III
Madi II

And for the "little" chick:

Margit I
Vanim I
Maimu IIIIIIII
Triinu I
Mini III

All in all 14 votes came for the names.

I hope I got everything right, we have several names being suggested for different chicks, and it seems at least one chick already got a name.

[Yoko]

The vote will stop when?

[Felis silvestris]

Actually, Urmas wrote in his article by May 27th, that's why I did a count of the suggestions.

[Yoko]

Ok ! SUPER!!! We await the result of the voting

[Mutikluti]

For Katrin's and Kalju's nest Kulla got 3 votes... Felis silvestris....in your work are mistakes!

Kulla in Estonian means: dear...like gold...so dear...

[Felis silvestris]

Vabandust, Mutikluti, I have Kulla twice on my list. You are of course right, it is 3 votes for Kulla. I hope this is the only counting error I have made.

[Urmas]

Seems I overestimated hours in my days, there is still only 24...
Used suitable weather for field works and so it goes quickly.
I see Felis silvestris made almost already and I can only approve the counting of votes.

So the chicks in hiireviu nest (Mari and Mihkel the adults) will have the names:
Biggest - Max
Middle - Midi
Smallest - Maimu

and the chicks in hiireviu2 nest (Katrin and Kalju the adults) will have the names:
Biggest - Boss
Middle - Kalle
Smallest - Kulla

Thanks to everybody who took part in voting and hope all are agree with results (more-less)!
We can say those are typical Estonian Buzzard chick names, because no more are named before...

There is probably few weeks to use those names, since the young Buzzards are in nest, yet!

[-Thumper-]

I love the names, Urmas! So glad we were able to come up with them before the buzzards fledged.

[Yoko]

Mari+Mihkel = Max, Midi , Maimu
Katrin + Kalju = ?, Kulla , Kalle.
I don't understand the name of the biggest

[Felis silvestris]

Yoko, the biggest in the second nest is called "Boss"


Thank you Urmas for doing the honours at baptizing the buzzard chicks!

[Yoko]

ok ! Thank you.
Boss, Kulla and Kale.
