[linked image] The 1st egg hatched this afternoon (Saturday Mar. 21st) at the Norfolk Botanical Garden. We believe that the hatching occur ed between 12:00 and 12:30pm but the female's attentiveness made it difficult to get a clear view. A second egg has pipped so we'll expect to it hatch sometime soon. The entire hatching process can take up to 24 hours so we are unsure when the 2nd hatchling will make it's debut.

Thanks for bumping this back up, Connie. The still pictures of the Mom and Pop looking at the first baby are adorable.

I have been watching them. She has a fish in her nest today. They had an eagle cam a few years back but nothing ever hatched. I like to watch it
