Hi everyone,

All three cameras are back in operation, including the upgraded South/West camera.

We also wanted to take a moment to talk about how quiet things have been on this site and also at the Campanile. Neither Annie nor Archie has been seen at the Campanile since early January.

There was only one possible choice for me for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme by @alan678.bsky.social of #GreyDay — my first raptor love Grinnell, #peregrinefalcon extraordinaire. But alas, his heart belonged to Annie, so I’ve included her, too.

Love today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Borb, bird looking round or pear shaped, the Alt theme is Gulls.

These puffy #CalFalcons peregrine falcon chicks and #SantaCruzIsland kestrel fit the bill.

Grinnell and Annie started my love of raptors. Grinnell's passing three years ago was devastating to all fans. We shall never forget this very special falcon.

#CalFalcons Annie & Archie's visits to the Campanile are less frequent this time of year, so it's a special occasion when they stop by. Both seem in fine fettle.

A tribute to #Annie, Berkeley Campanile Queen
I’ve done my best to pay tribute to a most beloved peregrine falcon, and for some, friend and companion.

Much gratitude to and courtesy of Cal Falcons & UC Berkeley

As fans wait and hope to see Annie & Archie return, it is good to see even the "wrong" raptors fly by.

Things on the Campanile have certainly changed: 3 pigeons are now using it as a roost! Pigeons are a "favorite" of peregrines and would never have gotten near the tower when Annie ruled the roost. Watch Cal Falcons' 3 live cams: www.youtube.com/@calfalcons/.... #birds
3 pigeons roosted on the UC Berkeley Campanile: 2 on the bar in the foreground; 1 on the ledge in back.

After a stormy spell in Berkeley, Annie & Archie returned to the tower for some pair-bonding. They seem to be enjoying the empty-nest season.
