The first egg in the Hornby nest was laid early last evening...WHEN I WASN'T LOOKING! The incubation period takes only about 35 days give or take a day or two (wouldn't that be nice ladies), so if this little egg makes it we should have a hatch sometime around the 3rd week in April. Hopefully Mother Hornby will produce another egg in the next day or so. I'm warning all you newbies watching the live eagle cam IS addicting, it's crazy like crack, you sit and watch a silly egg for 32 days and then when it's hatched you watch the baby chick until it takes it's first flight.

This is so amazing! To see this upclose is so awesome! What a wonderful way to learn, enjoy, and enlighten us about nature. Thanks for sharing. I will be back to keep up on the little egg and mom's progress.
ReplyDeleteTruly, for those new to Colleen's blog, this IS her crack! I guess we should be thankful that it has to do with eggs. Could be SO worse. Congratulations, Grandma! Keep us posted - Tanya
