The fourth egg has hatched but the eyas died after a couple days.

Oh dear, I posted this message to a different topic about the San Jose falcons  .  Oh well.  At the risk of repeating myself, here is an update:
Clara and Esteban Colbert made use of their new nestbox, with laying beginning on March 2, and finally had four eggs.  The first three eyasses hatched on April 11, and the fourth on April 14.  The saddest note is that our fourth eyas did not survive.  It seemed to just "fail to thrive" and expired around April 17.  We've taken a lot of video and posted to YouTube, so you can see their progress.  We now have three very robust three-week-old eyasses, and expect fledging in about two weeks or so!

Please visit our YouTube site: http://www.youtube.com/SanJosePFA  every so often.  Every few days we try to get some new video uploaded;  they change so fast!  You can see the webcam live streaming video also 24/7 here: http://www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/nestcamSJ.htm

I am watching your falconcam personally, checking in on the progress of Beauty and Archer every day.  Best wishes for their first brood, falconatics!

It's OK Debbie...we're still getting used to this format too!  Thanks for the update! 

In years past I was able to follow the west coast falcons far more than I have this year, so it's good to have reports to read and videos to watch.

Yeah, it's OK...I do it too. Thanks so much for explaining about the little one who didn't make it. It's sad but it sure does happen. I was watching them today, so cute at this stage.
