1st egg hatches!!!

The first chick of 2009 made it's appearance today, April 28, 2009. I saw the first glance at 3:36 p.m. From a little before 3 p.m. I noticed Scout was quite restless, turning often and looking at the eggs for about 45 minutes prior to me actually seeing the chick. I figured something was up and kept a close watch ready to record. I finally got a glimpse just after 3:30:
