Eggciting news! Egg #1 just arrived

We have an egg!



These pictures are really dark as the bright afternoon sun in Philadelphia today is creating deep shadows.


At approximately 3:10 PM, the formel stood up and we caught our first glimpse of the eagerly awaited egg.



She then stepped back a little, and we could see it more clearly.



She was quickly joined by the tiercel - proud parents admiring their first-laid! 


And then the formel headed out, soon followed by her mate.



So, now we're off and running for another wonderful spring of hawks
