Well it looks like most of the eggs we have been watching have hatched!  We were watching the eagles yesterday and we discovered that there were little, fuzzy eaglets! The eaglets have down covering their  body.  Then we checked out the hummingbirds and they have also hatched.  The webcam is so close it is hard to understand how small those little hummingbirds are, but they are tiny and we discovered that they don't have any down covering them, they are naked.  The heron's eggs are still in their nest and we watched the heron fix up the nest.  We wondered when they will hatch?  You can check out the webcams below this post.

Do you know of any other interesting animalcam?

Also we popped our vinegar egg.  We discovered that the egg has absorbed water so when we turned the water red the egg became red.  We were able to bounce the egg but we know that a regular egg would crack if we tired to bounce it.  It has been fun learning about our egg and learning about other eggs all over the world.  The membrane was very red but the yolk was yellow and the white was  pink.  We also discovered there was pink water inside the egg.

Mason did a great job of labeling this photo of the egg.

We popped our egg!

We are creating a wiki to share information about our egg experiment.
We will post pictures of our egg, observations of the egg and we will compare one egg to another. We will also record information about the experiments on a voice thread.
