It has now reached its 49th day of incubation so if all goes well it will hatch anytime in the next few days.
Update March 8th, 11 am | The incubating parent has not revealed the egg (or a chick) over the past few hours, and it is not uncommon for the chick to communicate with the parent throughout the hatching process which can take 24 hours or longer once the egg has "pipped", however based on the increased amount of peeping and the parents’ activity, it appears to be in the more advanced stages of hatching.
This follows the successful hatching of the chick in the neighboring CahowCam1 nest, 1 week ago on its 49th day of incubation, whilst thousands of viewers watched from around the World.
4 day old CahowCam1 chick.
CahowCam1 Highlights: The 1-week-old cahow Bermuda Cahow chick is reunited with one of its parents last night for a long, 6-hour bout of feeding, cuddling, and "nestorations." Throughout the nestling period, both adults will return to feed their chick in between foraging sessions.
