BERKELEY -- It's rare that expecting couples are treated to watch parties, and even rarer to have huge video screens set up for their big day. That was exactly the case at the University of California, Berkeley Tuesday, as folks gathered at the university's BAMPFA Hatch Day Celebration to witness the arrival of four much-anticipated hatchlings on the Jumbotron.

It seems like yesterday that UC Berkeley's famous Peregrine falcons Annie and Lou were caught en flagrant delit making out on the Cal Falcons Nest Cam last January. Since then, Annie has laid four beautiful eggs. Their due date was April 11, but one of them couldn't wait and hatched on Monday, a day early.
They are hardly alone, and are part of a natural wild, thriving community, according to falconer Shawn Hayes. Hiking the Jordan Fire Trail high above campus, he knows all the flora and fauna. It's a clear day and the sky is bright and clean after days and days of drought-busting rain.
