The first hatch occurred late yesterday afternoon. The 1st egg was 34 days old and the 2nd egg was 31 days old. Not sure which one hatched since the 1st was a day over the normal 28-33 day incubation period. Time will tell!
I made a little video of Luna feeding her owlet today.
Still just one hatch today. I snatched some pics off the Chimney Swifts page.

Luna is chatting away with a tiny chatter underneath her. The mod seems to think it's the chick in the unhatched egg and I hope she's right but I got a couple of glimpses of the egg and I don't see any signs of pipping yet. I snipped a couple of pics from my recording I was making just in case. What do you think? Hmmm NYB egg 5-5-14.PNG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
