Grinnell, one of a beloved pair of peregrine falcons who made their longtime home atop the bell tower at UC Berkeley, has died, it was announced this week.
“We are devastated and heartbroken,” the tweet said. “His cause of death isn’t known, but he was probably struck by a car given where we found him.” Peregrine falcons typically mate for life, although survivors will seek a replacement after a mate dies. Then in February, Annie vanished from her gravel nest and was briefly presumed injured or dead before returning nearly a week later. Her disappearance made local headlines.
