It turns out that unfortunately only one of the eggs in Lady Di's nest has hatched. This new photo shows that what looked like a beginning hole on the second egg, back on aug 13, was in fact just a piece of debris: the egg is still intact and may now fail to hatch. Possibly the recent heavy rain prevented normal hatching. Anyway the remaining hatchling is growing well, and it will be interesting to see how Lady Di deals with the unhatched egg. I think she will just ignore it.
The best upcoming availability is for tues pm, wed pm and thur (see "Visiting Slots" to right of this post).
Here's a recent sanctuary photo, by Kathy Baca, showing a juvenile male (2 dark spots on the throat).
