May 1, 2008: The fourth egg did not hatch for unknown reasons. If it remains intact when the young are banded in mid-May, SCPBRG will collect it and determine whether it was fertile. The three young are healthy and growing.

 

 

 

April 22, 2008: Three of Clara and Carlos' eggs hatched today, on Earth Day.

 

 

 

 

 

March 24, 2008: Clara and Carlos now have four eggs to care for this spring. For now, nestbox activity will primarily be limited to incubation exchanges between the adults. Once the eggs hatch, activity in and around the nest box will increase significantly.

 

 

March 16, 2008: This morning two eggs were visible in the nest box! The eggs are expected to hatch toward late April. 

 

 

 

 

March 13, 2008:  It's almost spring, and Clara has laid the first egg of the 2008 season on top of San Jose City Hall!  Clara's mate from last year, Jose, has not been seen since mid-summer 2007.  However, a new tiercel, known as Carlos, took up residence in the area soon after, and Clara has accepted Carlos as her new mate.
