A healthy female peregrine falcon was spotted on the Campanile at UC Berkeley, igniting hopes for a potential return of nesting at the site. This follows the absence of Annie, a beloved falcon who had a successful breeding history for eight years. The Cal Falcons group, which monitors the site, has seen multiple transient falcons this year, but none have remained. Experts, including ecologist Sean Peterson and wildlife photographer Bridget Ahern, share excitement over the new visitor, speculating it could explore the area for future breeding opportunities.
The return of a healthy female peregrine falcon to UC Berkeley's Campanile inspires hope for future nesting, especially following the absence of former resident Annie.
Ecologist Sean Peterson noted that sightings of peregrine falcons have generated excitement due to the absence of Annie, the long-term resident, who did not return this year.
