Guys! There’s only ONE WEEK LEFT to suggest a name for the new female bald eagle at Maymont!

I suggest the RVANews posse pulls a Colbert and bands together to suggest a delightfully absurd name and try to sway the vote.

Three finalists will be chosen from the entries. From June 13rd through June 28th, visitors to Maymont can cast their votes by making a donation in the voting box marked with the name of their choice. The winning name will be announced June 30th.

You can go here to submit names online.

Got any good ideas? And let’s try to keep it clean, folks. Think of the kiddos.

(I personally would like her to be named “John Ashcroft” because of this.)

Valerie Catrow is the former editor of RVANews who now spends her days raising her son, reading young adult fiction, and watching really bad television. When she's not contributing to our parenting column or ranting and raving on her personal blog, Made in Richmond, you can probably find her abusing the caps lock key on Twitter.

   RVAEagle…but it HAS to be pronounced phonetically for maximum awkwardness. It also has to have at least 3 blogs.
