CalFalconCam

Raise your hand if you want to watch all three of our cams at the same time! We are very excited to announce the launch of our new website: calfalcons.berkeley.edu Come check it out, and learn all about Annie, Grinnell, and their history at @UCBerkeley!

@cathshiang I wish we had more information to share, but these things take time. The symptoms observed don’t fit with starvation very well. If he had been just emaciated, he would have recovered after returning to care. As soon as we have more info, we will share

@cathshiang I just wanted to quickly respond:until the necropsy results come out, we won’t have a clear idea on what happened and there are a huge number of competing theories. The methods used in Nox’s rehab have been used for thousands of falcons that have successfully returned to the wild

Annie has never successfully hatched all four eggs in any year we've monitored her. There's always been an egg that didn't make it. Nox was the exception to that: a tiny little bundle of fluff that hatched out of his egg as hundreds of people watched live on BAMPFA's big screen

@cathshiang Nox’s wing had a very significant fracture, the kind of injury that could never be recovered from even ten years ago. It’s only through highly advanced care that he was able to be released again. Also, at his age, his parents would not have been providing care

@CalFalconCam I wonder why it wouldn't have been more helpful had they put the splint on Nox then returned him to his parents? His parents could have continued to have fed him, and he could have been with his siblings. Why did they need to keep Nox at the hospital?

We are deeply saddened to receive the news from UC Davis that Nox passed away last night. They will be performing a post-mortem to determine the cause of death, which is still unknown. We will be posting an in memoriam later today when we have time to honor Nox properly

We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Bay Raptor Rescue, Wildcare, and the UC Davis California Raptor Center. Your excellent care of Little Boy Blue gave us hope at every moment of his journey. Thank you.

Losing him is incredibly difficult, especially with how much work he and his human caretakers put in to return to the wild from his initial injury. We will all always treasure the moments we had with him. Photos: Cal Falcons + Moon_rabbit_rising

@HashtagBurton The global licensing of media to be used for AI training datasets. The images and videos we post are all owned by UC Berkeley (or the photographers who generously share) - we have no authority to authorize their use for AI or commercial purposes, so that kills our ability to post

@CalFalconCam What in the terms of service was a dealbreaker?

Due to the recent changes to Twitter's Terms of Service and the impacts those changes have on intellectual prop., we will be pausing our use of this platform Look for some really exciting Nox news where the skies are blue, the books are made from faces, and the gram are instant

@DoveSeed Correct

@mmrj_tweet Can do

@DuBoisFalcons Looking good!!!

Ian Bandwich Hale sighting! He was photographed on September 10 at the Quabbin! #NESTFLIX macaulaylibrary.org/asset/623578794

Annie and Archie took a moment to inspect their freshly cleaned and painted box! Hope we did a good job!

Even the falcons are pumped.
