A front row seat to something none of us would have ever been able to watch before
The URL below takes you to the "Decorah Eagle Project" in Decorah IA. It is a 24 hour a day camera that watches a bald eagle nest. I have watched it for the last two years. The first chick should be born in about 2 weeks or so. Last year all three chick survived, which is unusual. O the largest chick will push the smallest one out of the nest.
I go there every day, usually more than once a day. Last night it dropped to 13 degrees F but she never moved. When it rains, she spreads her wings over them to keep her chicks dry even though she is wet and freezing.

That was awesome. As I started watching they switched positions - presumably for the one to take a break.

There are many great wildlife cam sites, like this one, that give you an opportunity to see nature up close in a way that we could only imagine a decade or two ago. My wife moderates chat at a Barn Owl box site from CA. We've watched everything from Bald Eagles (Decorah and Fort Myers, FL) to Hummingbirds to Owls (Barn, Great Horned and African Eagle Owls) to Hawks to Wood Ducks to Bears, and it's been fascinating. It can also be incredibly sad because nature is often cruel, and most camera hosts will not interfere (nor should they) in the process. I'll try and get my wife to forward me her various bookmarks if folks are interested in other similar sites.

Thanks for sharing mate, it just goes to show that when its family animals can endure anything. I think alot of human parents can learn from animals

Just in case anyone is still following this, looks like the eggs have hatched. I was watching the chicks yesterday. Pretty cute.
