Field Notes Doug Bell Location: UC Berkeley, November 30, 1988 17:30 No peregrine on campanile. December 1, 1988 12:15. No peregrine on campanile. December 2, 1988 12:30 No peregrine on campanile. December 3, 1988 12:50 Tiercel peregrine on N ledge #3 - eating prey, which is either small, or has already been mostly eaten. December 4, 1988 14:45. Weather sunny, warm. Walked towards campanile from Northside. Could see the tiercel sitting on N ledge #3. Went up to 10th floor Evans, but could not get out onto the balcony. Went back down to 2nd floor balcony. At 14:55 watched the peregrine leave the campanile and fly straight north, skimming past the west face of Evans at the building height up to the level of about Euclid ave. at which point the tiercel turned sharply west and began a long pumping dive. The tiercel fell from sight approx. west of Holy Hill. It reappeared not more than 10-15 seconds later out of the NW area of the campus. It was flapping hard, and coming from a very low position. It "labored" to gain height, coming towards the campanile. Clearly, a pigeon was dangling from its feet. The tiercel returned to the campanile, circled behind it once, then landed on the N stucco railing (ledge 5). Pigeon wings still jerking. The tiercel looked about, then dispatched it with bites to the head/neck. - The tiercel was visible panting while flying to the campanile.
