This year's brood of three falcon chicks atop the UC Berkeley Campanile have been officially banded, and we know there are two females and one male — the latest in falcon Annie's growing lineage.

Falcon mom Annie got her first hatchling to hatch on Monday afternoon, and there are three more eggs left to go!

Just an update on the peregrine falcons atop UC Berkeley's Campanile: There are already two eggs in Annie's nest, and she's ahead of the usual schedule with the laying by a week or two.
