I just received a text from one of the regular hawk-watchers that Rosie and Bobby’s first baby hatched. I was working on my last blog post so I missed seeing the blessed event live on the nestcam when it happened. It will be so much fun to watch mom feed the baby in the morning.
Special Topic: Egg Hatching
One of Rosie and Bobby’s eggs is hatching – April 9th, 2012
2:00PM. I was just looking at the nest cam and saw one of the eggs ‘pipping’. It truly looks like one of the eggs is in its first stages of hatching.
I took this screen shot of the hole in the egg:
This is a very exciting development!
I am especially excited because I had predicted the eggs may start to hatch this week in my post below:

Please forgive my shameless patting of my own back. :)My fingers are crossed that we get to see healthy babies grow this new breeding season!
