Here’s the first hatchling at Pitt, breaking out of its shell!
Here’s a slideshow of the hatching including E2’s visit to meet his firstborn of 2011. Click on any image to see the slideshow in its own lightbox.

I love how E2 came over to visit the first chick. He’s a good father!
So wonderful! Thanks, Kate. Can’t believe I missed it “in person.”
Congratulations Dorothy and E2!!
A huge thank you to Anne Marie for making a hotspot so that we can all enjoy the moment. 🙂
WOO HOO!!!

The slideshow is wonderful! You can almost imagine them congratulating each other on a strong start to the new season.
The slideshow is fantastic! Thanks for putting it together!
how do you find and/or make hot spots? the site looks diffferent this year.
Congratulations!! Wonderful slide show, what a great couple they are and such good parents! I’m so glad things have calmed down here and they can now focus on their little ones 🙂
Absolutely wonderful slideshow!! Thank you!!
Congrats to Dorothy & E2!
Great slideshow!
Could you please ask whoever is in charge of the Cathedral webcam to please adjust the focus? It’s incredibly blurry, and I had to watch the single snapshot cam just to see the baby falcon. This is very disappointing compared to last year’s webcam setup.
Kem, the focus appears to be off but the real problem is that it raining here — a lot! — and the camera cover has drips on it that blur the image. We cannot disturb the nest so we cannot wipe off the camera. Oh well.
Wonderful slideshow. Very inspiring.
