First pip reported at CMNH!
First Pip
Scott Wright phoned around noon, Monday April 19th, 2010 to say that he observed a small pip in one of the eggs. It usually takes 24 - 48 hours from pip to hatch so stay tuned to the Falconcam over the next two days to see the hatch. Watch for Scott's updates in his thread in the Forum section of this website.
Many visitors to this website have been concerned about the cables that the falcons have pulled down into the nest tray. They should pose no threat to the chicks in their first three weeks.The only function of the cables is to pull up the 'drawbridge' on banding day so that the chicks stay in the nest. They will be removed at the conclusion of the banding event.
