The Texas Zoo needs your help in naming two new additions to the zoo family!

On April 25, the zoo received five rescued owlets.

Three were turned over to Bay City rehabbers, while two remained at the zoo to be used for educational purposes. You can learn more about them and see more photos in this story, "Texas Zoo gets new screech owlets (video)."

Because the owlets are sure to impact Crossroads residents young and old for years to come, Andrea Blomberg, executive director for the zoo, is inviting Advocate readers to participate in naming the baby owls.

The following are the top five sets of owlet names (in no particular order).

Readers are asked to vote in the poll.
