Eagle cam
I'm a sucker for animals and wildlife.
I've just read recently about a webcam trained on an eagle's nest somewhere along the coast in Maine showing a bald eagle protecting its newly laid egg from blustery winds and frigid temperatures. I decided to check it out myself and got to view the live video a few hours earlier. It was already dark (past midnight US Eastern Standard Time) and although I could barely make out the nest and pine branches and leaves nearby, I could hear the strong winds whistling by, buffeting the camera and rocking the branch on which the nest was built. Awww. Doesn't your heart just go out to any poor mother trying so hard to raise and protect its young? It was also fascinating to read about how the eagle would get up periodically and rotate the egg to prevent the embryo from sticking to one side of the egg. Talk about dedication.
