BerkeleySide reports

This is the falcons’ fifth breeding season at the top of the Campanile. There will likely be three more eggs laid over the next several days.

Veteran peregrine falcon mother Annie laid her first egg of 2021 early this morning in her gravel nest on UC Berkeley’s 307-foot-tall Campanile. Since then, the pair has been seen taking turns incubating the egg — there are three 24/7 webcams on the tower, one on the nest  — with Annie taking breaks to eat what Grinnell hunts.
