Bald Eagles in Iowa About to Hatch

[peplaw06]

They got a live feed about 80 feet up to catch it whenever it happens.

Damn, that is a BIG heavy nest! :laugh2:

From the FAQ.

===========================

How big is the nest?
5-6 feet across, about the same deep; it weighs about 1½ tons.

Yeah...bring back the Bald Eagle! An American icon.

Seriously, this is pretty cool.

That is awesome! Yeah, the quality is excellent.

And 1.5 tons... No wonder it's our national symbol.

Did anyone see the egg hatch? Yesterday at about 5:30 or so, I saw one little beak breaking through, but she (or he -- the camera zoomed way in when both were in the nest and he may have taken over) got back on them. Then this morning I see that it says the first hatch happened sometime today.

So cool. Great post, pep.

I hope someone youtubes this. I am sure there are many, like me, who will miss all the excitement.
