The Discussion Forum is open for discussion and information concerning the San Jose falcons and their young. Staff from Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group at UCSC Long Marine Lab and others with falcon and raptor experience moderate the group.

The resident tiercel since 2009, E.C. has disappeared and been replaced by a new tiercel, Fernando El Cohete.

Clara appeared at City Hall in 2006 as a one year-old bird, still molting into her adult plumage, and is now 7 years old. See our wiki (link below) for more history.
