9:02pm....One last thing.........from Brit's vocals I gather Rey is back home.

8:57pm....It is getting late now......both cams have gone to night vision. That chick will probably settle down for the night and continue its hatching efforts after a nice little rest. Brit is anxious but will need to sleep too. Brit still is low over the egg......doesn't give us much to see. But s...

8:45pm...Brit knows the chick is there..........she's listening and looking.

8:39pm......So tired, but so curious.

8:25pm.....Brit came back to the nest and is back down over the egg again. I have a feeling she was greeting Rey, maybe thought she'd get a break but it didn't happen so she came back to the nest.
Tired Brit.

wow nice jean you can see him/her moving

Yes, you can see that! Soon we will have an eaglet here. Might not be until the early morning though.

8:20pm.......Brit spied something and left the nest..........finally a look at the egg..........We could see the chick pushing out that shell
A lighter gray inside this hole......that is the chick and it is pushing on the shell.

8:15pm...Brit is very fidgety. Up and down, turning around, poking at the straw around her. I too think she's hearing that chick talk to her.

8:07pm....Sorry, missed the last look at the egg as Brit moved because I kept seeing some white fluff and needed to find out what it was........just a white feather underneath Brit. The small part I saw did not show the pip.

8:01pm.....From the rollback.......We can see how the hole in the egg is pushed out here by chick's beak in the second s'cap........5:30pm.

7;55pm...........I just went back over the rollback to view CC's zoom on that egg when the hole was seen. Here are some s'caps. In the last s'cap we can visibly see the chick pushing the egg shell out. It's an active little one. From the rollback ........5:28pm. Here s the hole. 1.jpg Shell is very ...

7:48pm....IN on both cams.

Wow, Brit is really looking down there!

Anyone on that wants to take over ?

Hi Ryan, just got here........I will sign into the cams.

Great job Ryan and CC in finding the egg cracked with hole.

4:30pm........Rey is still here............should be a COTG soon.

I am leaving the N cam zoomed in a bit closer as we might be able to see something once Rey gets up off the egg. Please post of you are watching. Thanks.


OFF cams.

4:27pm....Large bird at the bay.......looks like an eagle to me.
