From Albany High School Website:

Albany High School's Mountain Bike Club is pedaling its way to a successful season so far.

The Cougars came in second of 25 teams at the NorCal Mountain High School Racing League contest on Sunday, March 10 in Fort Ord, near Monterey. 

Zohe Slack had a second in Varsity Girls, Jessie Wilson a third in Sophomore girls, Ray Karan a third in Junior Varsity boys and Jason Tang a third in Sophomore boys. 

The website says "It took great skill and time from our coach, Daniel Santos, and much effort and dedication from the students to do so well."

@Dover: The parent birds didn't look like doves. They were the commonly seen dull-yellowish birds.…Read More Smaller than a pigeon but larger than a sparrow. Robins? I can't tell for sure. We checked the abandoned nest. To my eyes, it was well built, and stably setup between grape branches. It didn't capsize. The dead baby birds were found at least 5 feet away from the ground right beneath the nest. Something must have got them out of the nest and killed them. We didn't look at the corpses in detail to decide the cause of death though.

I agree with Ross. A predator would have eaten those yummy, tender, tasty baby birds. It sounds…Read More more like a case of incompetent nest construction to me. Were they doves? Doves are well-known for their inability to build proper nests but there are others who struggle too. Instinct and ability do not always travel hand-in-hand. Not much you can do about that, unfortunately. Some creatures are incompetent. Some people are incompetent. That's life.
