The ballots are counted, and the results are finalized. Meet UW-Green Bay's new peregrine falcons; the Cofrins.
 
Campus leaders say 400 votes were cast during the naming contest. In the end, the Cofrins received 21% of the vote. The birds, which are on the endangered list in Wisconsin, will be named Austin, David, Douglass and Peter in honor of the four deceased male members of the Cofrin family.
 
The Cofrins have been long time donors to the University. Their philanthropic support has made a big impact on the campus.
 
Coming in fourth place in the contest, the Packers: Aaron, Jordy, Randall and Clay.
