Pre-schoolers, prospective UC Berkeley students, amateur birdwatchers, campus grandparents and many more gathered Tuesday to watch the livestream of the Cal Falcons “hatch day” at the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive, or BAMPFA.

UC Berkeley’s famed falcon Annie has found a new mate to snuggle up alongside in the Campanile. Annie, now a mother of one, has also welcomed Lou to the family. 

UC Berkeley’s favorite peregrine falcon, Annie, has laid four more eggs in the Campanile this month.

From an unprovoked attack on a lover to a mysterious disappearance, a blindsided tragedy to a rebound turned companion, Annie’s stay at the Campanile can be read as a pitch for a prime-time novella.

Equipped and readied with folding chairs and binoculars, Cal Falcons volunteers anticipated the Campanile peregrine chicks' first flight Saturday.

The votes are in, and the two peregrine falcon chicks atop the Campanile just received their names: Lindsay and Grinnell Jr. 

It was a festive Mother’s Day weekend for Annie the Peregrine falcon, as she welcomed two new chicks Thursday and Friday.

While peregrine falcons are feared predators in the wild, campus’s favorite birds may have a new enemy: drones.

UC Berkeley’s male peregrine falcon, Grinnell, has been injured in a fight against rival falcons.

On May 12, UC Berkeley’s three new peregrine falcons were all determined to be male during Banding Day. Each chick received one band from the national Bird Banding Laboratory with a unique nine-digit number, along with a four-digit visual identification band that allows people to more easily identify the birds from a distance.
