What a wait it's been, but it's finally here. Today, for the first time this year, newly hatched chicks were popping up and out all around the rookery. Take a look....
JC's neighbor flaunted her chick while RM took a good look at his own nest and JC.
Then... on the other side of our waiting parents, there was a chick. The first one, demanding his or her dinner.
But then, up from the nest a parent rises and there it is. The hole where the egg tooth protrudes ever so slightly. Our chicks are on the way.
Within the next 24 hours, there should be hatching en masse... not to be missed. And our good parents to be should be showing them off.
More tomorrow, as the day unfolds.
