I didn't know if there are any moms who have heard of this, but there's a Web site where you can watch a pair of eagles in Decorah, IA, raising their little eaglets. The eggs are expected to hatch this week, so I thought I'd share this in case you have older kids who might think it's cool. It's a fun activity to check in with the site every few days to see the babies hatching, growing, being fed, etc.
Oooooh, yay! They were all still eggs when I last looked on Friday. When I checked this morning, the live feed was of the mom sitting quietly in her nest, plucking at some twigs and stuff. I couldn't tell what was underneath her.
I just checked a minute ago, and the camera is offline (so they play some videos that were recorded in the past). I don't know if it's because they're doing maintenance or something, but I'll check back later.
So I think that the baby I saw yesterday was just a video.
I've been watching the stream this morning and the eagles just switched (mom/dad) sitting on the nest and none are hatched. It was amazing to see them switch sitting on the eggs though
