EagleCam - Watch Live Footage!
EagleCam. If you've never seen an eagle's nest, a whole human could fit in there, which is a good thing because the eaglets are growing fast.
In addition to the DNR's live footage, bird enthusiasts can view short clips from previous years at Minnesota Bound. Scroll down on their website to see clips of the babies hatching and the eaglets' first morning. MN Bound Solar Powered EagleCam.

April 21, 1:00 - 2:00 PM ~ Conversation with the Author, Peter Hautman
Summary of Slider: David can eat an entire sixteen-inch pepperoni pizza in four minutes and thirty-six seconds. But he’ll have to do better if he’s going to win the Super Pigorino Bowl pizza-eating contest. And he has to win because he accidentally put $2,000 on his mom’s credit card. So he really needs that prize money. Like, yesterday. As if training to be a competitive eater weren’t enough, he’s also got to keep an eye on his little brother, Mal (who would be labeled autistic if their family believed in labels). But maybe David’s bottomless appetite isn’t his only talent.
