Has someone already posted about this web cam of a bald eagle family in their nest?

If not, I wanted to share because it is so cool. The mom is sitting on 3 fuzzy chicks (who are bigger than I thought). Around 5:30, the dad returned to the nest and dropped a fish. The mom tore it apart and fed the babies and then tucked them back underneath her. They are probably under for the night, but I am sure that there will be more action tomorrow...and in the following days!
Technology is just so amazing!

Yes, this is great! My DDs have been watching this at school some this week and they got us watching it at home.

Yes, this is near my hometown in IA. It is near a fish hatchery, so I am wondering if dad is getting the good grub from there.
ETA: Wait! Is there another one? The one I was referring to is in Iowa and the mama also has 3 babies.

Neat that there are 2! The one that I am watching is in Norfolk, Virginia...and there aren't any ads- just peaceful wildlife!

ETA: Well, maybe not always peaceful. The larger chick bullies the other 2 and I kind of wonder about the chances of all 3 surviving.

Yeah, the ads stink, but it went from being funded by a college, to being funded by ad support. The Raptor Resource Project took it over from the college.The ads are very annoying.

Two adult eagles in the nest now, and the babies are being fed again. Thanks for posting this, OP!

So neat, OP! I was just talking about the one from last year, and am excited to be able to watch another one! There's a big eagle there now. Not sure if it's the mama or the dad.
