Is that a pip in that one pic or is it just a dirt spot?

Hey buzbee, that is a dirt spot.  It has been there since right after it was laid.  :D

It's been a windy afternoon in Decorah - HM on lower T1, HD reporting for egg duty - his injured toe looks like the talon may have fell off, and HD dozing off & HM preening

HD brought a big fish, and was eating it below the nest.  HM heard him eating, moved to Y, then down to branch to eat, too.  She ate there for a while, then flew out to pasture tree to eat.  She ate most, but flew back to nest with the tail.

Lisa, great views of the branches below the nest and the Y.
Looks like HD and HM are well-nourished and ready for an egg to hatch!

Pip pip hooray! Our eagle-eyed volunteers spotted a little starring on one of the eggs at around 6:53 this evening. Is it on the blunt side of the egg? Check! Are we on hatch watch? Check! And does the egg appear to jump or rock a little bit? It does. It has been eleven years since we watched eaglets hatch in this nest, but DH1 is on its way!
 
April 3, 2023: Pip in Decorah! https://youtu.be/QPq7pgqI9cw. Look for rocking at about 19 seconds: a quick but definite change in the egg's position.

April 3, 2023: We have a pip! https://youtu.be/CBRRVfsewgw. This video gives us a wonderful close-up of the eggs at 5:42.
