Eagle-cam shows hatch live

Here's an addictive little website:

It is a live webcam of an eagle nest on a reserve in Decorah, Iowa, where eaglets are hatching. The first hatch happened April 2. A counter shows more than 100,000 viewers typically looking in. Thanks to Glen Gorsuch of Neshkoro for alerting me to this site.

The nest is 80 feet up a tree. It measures 5-6 feet across and weighs 1.5 tons. The webcams were placed by the Raptor Resource Project. Take a look, but plan on spending some time there. - DH
