Is anyone interested in wildlife?
Jo-Anne saw this site mentioned on CBC and since then we are hooked. It is a broadcast quality webcam giving streaming video and audio looking into a nest of bald eagles. The website is counting over 2-million hits a day and an average simultaneous connection count of 5,000 viewers! The webcam has already captured a female bald eagle going into labour and laying 2 eggs. It is the first time it has ever been seen. The male and female eagles take turns to sit on the eggs, and the changeover time is always a time of great interest. They are due to incubate over three days at the end of the month. Be warned it is compulsive viewing and don't expect this to be blurred stop-motion video with an indistinct dot in the middle of the screen!

The nest is in the top of a Douglas Fir that has no pointy top. It is located in Hornby Island which is just of the coast of Vancouver, Canada.
