I have discovered a new webcam!

Eaglecam!

This webcam came from another bird nerd friend of mine whose husband happens to work at our Nature Preserve with a specialty in predatory birds.

I watched these three eaglets hatch a couple of weeks ago and today I saw the mother bird feed them a seagull and some fish. Gross but very cool!

There are moderated comments on the side which can be pretty informative. For example: eagles mate for life. The male usually does the hunting when the female is on the nest. He then brings the food to her for preparation(typical).Sometimes you can tell the questions are coming from a child who is discovering these beautiful birds for the first time. Like Hayley who asked if eagles have tongues. They do by the way but they don't clean their babies with them. That sharp beak might just get in the way.

Right now those are some sleepy babies.

Anyhow, if you want to spend a few relaxing and awe-inspiring moments watching these amazing birds check it out. I can barely tear myself away.
