The Pip Watch Officially Began on the Haab New Year
NOTE: THE FIRST POST GOT AWAY FROM ME BEFORE IT WAS FINISHED. I had to restore/repost two entries to get it right. (Sorry about that.)
The Watch for Signs of New Life in Jackie and Shadow’s nest began on March 30, 2026. Jackie laid the first egg on February 24, and the second on February 27, 2026. It takes between 30-40 Days before the first Pip, when the eggs are cracked, and then 24-48 hours for the Eaglet to emerge. Jackie delays incubation for the first egg so that a second egg can hatch near the same time. Eaglets that hatch at the same time have the best equal odds of survival.
The New Year marked the first 35 Day window, likely delayed for a couple of Days. The Eaglets could appear in Time for Easter!
