The first hatch of the 2016 season!!
Tuesday, May 3rd at 7:18 PM, we determined one of the eggs had hatched! We had heard the chick calling from inside the egg for several hours. Astrid stayed on duty the entire time as the chick slowly hammered itself out of the shell – helped along by Astrid dragging the egg against the stones. After the hatch Astrid ate the egg shell. We only got the briefest looks at the chick, but hope to have much better views once light returns in the morning. Perhaps another hatch will come tomorrow!
