UC Berkeley Peregrine Falcons Hatch First Chick to Worldwide Excitement
The world is eagerly watching UC Berkeley's peregrine falcon live webcam as one egg hatched Monday and there are still three left to go. The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on Earth, able to reach diving speeds that exceed 200 miles per hour. The webcam is able to give the public an inside look at the division of labor between males and females, and the way they share duties. The three webcams atop the Campanile are also an important addition for scientists to study the birds.
