That sounds pretty interesting but there wasn't anything streaming when I clicked through.

Try again... it's live footage of a Bald Eagle Eyrie - with lil' chicklets too.

It says "First hatch is imminent. It could occur anytime today."  I assume that means it hasn't happened yet, or else the site hasn't been updated.

Right now I just see the mother in the nest; no eggs or chicks.

An egg with a hole!  She just stood up for a moment and I saw it.

Wonder if it's a browser thing. I can get it to come up no problem.

Shift change!  I didn't get a clear view of the eggs.

I've seen the current occupant of the nest (the mother, I think, based on the description on the site--it was apparently the father who was there before "shift change") uncover the eggs twice, and I didn't see the hole I thought I saw earlier.  Maybe it was just a piece of dirt.

It looks like the camera may have changed to night vision mode.  It looks black & white now.

I went back to the EagleCam and now it says "First hatch 4/2/11.  Second hatch imminent." 

So the hole I glimpsed last evening was real, and the egg must have hatched during the night.  I haven't seen the chick yet.

The parent (I'm not sure which one this is) just got up and I saw the chick.  Just a little gray ball of fluff, as the camera is still in night-vision mode.

Edit:  It just switched to daylight mode.

A few minutes ago there was another shift change and I got a clear view of the chick.  Unfortunately I forgot how to take a screen shot and missed the opportunity.

Then a couple of minutes later, the parent stood up.  This time I was ready.



(There's two eggs and an empty eggshell there.)

I'm just wondering how long they will let that rabbit on side of the nest to age before eating it.
