Pip, Pip, Hooray!
Today, one egg in the nest of the celebrated Humboldt Bay Eagles shows signs of hatching. (Check out the tiny hole that Kathy Lowe captured in the screenshot above.) When the egg’s occupant starts pecking through its shell, that’s called pipping. It can take up to a day for an eaglet to tear through the shell into the outside world.
See more screenshots taken of the eagles and their eggs here. Or, you can watch the hatching on the eagle video cam here. Or here.

This is so exciting for all who love this nest! We thank the landowners who allow us to view this miracle as it’s happening and the biologists who support the cams and teach us about Bald Eagle behavior! Be sure and watch the two cam view at http://www.is.org/hbe.html
Go, little fella….
