1. It's not just DU; it's all over the internet
I have received several emails a day from friends watching the eagles. It's all over Facebook too.

2. That's great.
Here's the link for anyone who hasn't seen them yet:http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles

I keep it open in a tab and checked it around 2.00 AM two or three nights ago. I heard an owl and wondered if the mom would wake up. She did.

Today she lined the eaglets up in a row and the camera zoomed in close as she fed them. She made sure to feed the littlest eaglet which neat.

Her tree seems to be shaking back and forth today, probably windy. She seemed a bit nervous about that last time I checked.

5. How do you know that's Dad? I know their eyes are slightly
different and he's a bit smaller, but I can't tell just from watching right now.

The eaglets are so cute though as they are being fed ...

7. The dad has a dark circle around his eyes
The mom has a gray area that extends back from her eyes and she's bigger than he is.

3. Just checked again and the tree is really swaying back

11. That's far beyond DU.
We reflected a larger interest rather than generating one in this case.

12. Here's a local peregrine cam as well for those interested
Maybe not quite as impressive a view, but interesting anyway IMO. This is atop the building in downtown Boise I worked in years ago.
