Do We Have Our First “Pip”?

Late this morning it appeared as though one of the 4 eggs had some white marks on it. Could these be “pips” – meaning small holes in the egg created by the Peregrine chick inside? We are not sure and require more evidence before confirming the beginning of a hatch. We only know that the marks in question are not being caused by light hitting an egg, which was the cause of some premature excitement the other day. We will continue to monitor the nest and hopefully you will too!

Are these “pips” or are they just white stains on the egg?
