I received a PM from a fellow Lemming who wished to remain incognito with a photo they took of Pip!

A pip is the first hole the baby bird pokes to start escaping its eggy confinement, which is what Pip is named for.

Pip is one of a few special Hawk Owl babies born a few weeks ago as the first group of animal ambassadors of this species in the US. Many people across the country can now have a much easier chance to see one of these owls up close.

I’m very jealous in the most positive way, as he looks to be one cute little owlet. He’s a couple hours from me, so I want to see him at some point, but I’m so glad at least one of you got to see him while he’s little at his grand debut.

To learn more on Pip, see my original post here.
