Condor Cam live from San Diego - egg began to pip yesterday

Condor Cam live from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Sisquoc and Shatash take turns sitting in their nest incubating an egg! The egg began to pip—the process of a chick breaking through its egg shell—in the early hours of March 8. The process can take 48 to 72 hours until the chick emerges. Keep a close eye, and you may see the first condor chick to hatch live online!

A California condor chick is making history as it begins the hatching process at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park as seen in this handout photo taken March 8, 2012. The chick began to pip - or break through the egg shell - on Thursday. The egg will hatch live on the San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy's Condor Cam in the next 48 to 72 hours.
