Ruth Taylor checked the WAMU site this week. No one had reported sightings of adults actively incubating. So today, Martin Muller (suffering from a bad cold) most graciously made the trek up to floor P-1 and crawled down the tunnel to see what was going on. He found all eight eggs present in the scrape (see picture) but one was badly broken. No adults were present and so we are regrettably declaring a breeding failure this year at WAMU.We will make an attempt next week to collect the eight eggs and donate them to a local museum.
I'd like to extend a special thank you to Jeff Kasowski and Denise Kolb of Wright Runstad for going to all the work of setting up the camera connections this year. Sorry we were not able to make use of them.
