Nice view of hatch in progress at the very beginning of the 10:56 minute. Can see out the other side of the opened part of egg now!

Between about 12:50 and 12:50:10, M15 pecked the hatching egg and pulled out on one of the flaps with his beak. Can still see respirations of the chick.

Wish the egg could be rolled to a different position. More than once today, it looks as if the crack heads length-wise sometimes rather than across.

It's been a grueling hatch day. The way the egg has been opened strikes me as unusual. There's a large hole and it's not like the chick will be able to step out of it. Hoping it will be able to crack it further around in spite of the large opening. At about 20:12, Harriet stepped lightly on it with enough pressure that it seem to open a crack more. Still movement from the chick at nightfall. I really, really hope this hatch is successful as all of us do. Come on E15, we're with you in spirit and yearning your arrival!! Harriet on the nest and M15 on the right side of the tree! :15heartbeat:
