The hatching of a bald eagle’s egg begins with a tiny opening in the inner membrane of the egg. The chick starts to breathe through the porous shell. Soon a tiny pip shows as the chick has broken through the outer shell of the egg.

The eggs are briefly left in the open. A spot of interest is seen on the left most egg. It could be dirt, but it deserves watching.

The female is up turning the eggs and fluffing the grass in the egg cup. A spot is visible on the egg to the right, closest to her body.

The eggs are in full view, and so is the pip in the middle egg. In real time watching the cam, the egg tooth could be seen working on that shell.

The chick continues to work on that shell through the night.
