Boy, it is tough to see, but is that a tiny head and beak at the left side? Or just the other piece of the shell? (Edit: The more I look at it, the more it looks like the hatchling has a bit of the shell stuck on it's head) (Further edit: Yep, it just moved, so I guess it IS the first hatchling).

Fellow FalconHead Nathan has posted pictures of the 'pip', or initial opening in the shell as the egg begins to hatch. I enlarged the corner so I could see the eggs a little better. Here's that view:

Oh she's so sneaky! The nest was perfectly fine yesterday, but right when the baby hatches she moves them off camera!!
Hadn't you noticed how she often seemed to be watching the camera? I'm sure she knew what we were all doing.
Beautiful pictures - great timing!
