Kinderchick:
According to the website, all 4 chicks hatched Easter weekend and appear to be doing fine. Here are some facts that I found after digging around the website a bit...
2012 Season facts -
Eggs laid:
#1: February 25 @ ~7:20p
#2: February 28 @ ~8:30a (61 hours after egg #1)
#3: March 1 @ ~ 8:45p (60 hours after egg #2)
#4: March 4 @ ~ 11:00p (timing extraordinary due to unusual circumstances with the loss of E.C.)
*Hard incubation began: March 5, 2012
(*) Hard incubation means minimal time away from the eggs
Eggs hatched: Three Easter Eyasses ! Sunday, April 8. #4 arrived overnight, first visible Monday morning.
4/8 @ 7:20a: Clara stood to reveal one fluffy eyas, and one very wet eyas (newly born)
4/8 @ 10:15a: Another very wet eyas was in evidence
4/9: In the early morning hours #4 was visible in the nest
Banding Day: May 1, 2012
Kinderchick:
According to the website, the resident male from last year, know as "EC", was driven away from the nestsite in early March by a new male in the territory, after Clara had already laid 4 eggs. The new male has been observed delivering food to Clara and engaging in other courtship activity. He has also been sharing incubation duties with Clara so it looks as if he has established himself as the new resident male. "EC" has been spotted on a campus dormitory building less than a half mile from the nestsite, but has not attempted to return.
