As four new falcons hatch from their eggs next week at University of California at Berkeley's famous bell tower, a plan has been hatched for a watch party on the campus Tuesday to celebrate the occasion.
The first of four eggs of a falcon named Annie and her new mate Lou is expected to hatch sometime between 8 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. Tuesday in a nest atop UC Berkeley's Campanile tower, where Annie has made her home for several years. That's according to Cal Falcons, the group of scientists that monitors the falcons and posts regular photos, commentary and memes about them onto social media.
On Tuesday, the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive is hosting a Hatch Day celebration where the falcon cam will be broadcast live from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for free on an outdoor screen as eggs hatch. A team of falcon experts will also share information and insights about the birds during the event.
"Inside the eggs, the chicks will be working on piercing internal membranes and then cutting a tiny crack in the shell that will let the chick breathe air for the first time," the group wrote.According to UC Berkeley, in March 2022, Annie's longtime partner Grinnell was found dead on campus. Eggs Annie laid before Grinnell's death would not have hatched except for the arrival of a new falcon, eventually named Alden, that helped incubate the eggs.
Lindsay then was found dead in August from an apparent attack by a red-shouldered hawk. Annie's new mate Alden then left in November and was not seen again by the Cal Falcons group.
