This is a Geek Out that others should also geek out over.
Behold, the Norfolk Botanical Garden Eagle Cam. It's a live stream of a real Bald Eagles' nest in Norfolk, VA. The eagles are wild, not in captivity, even though we were all lucky enough that they chose to nest in a botanical garden. The female laid 3 eggs, which all hatched very, very recently. Some of us lucky viewers were able to watch the hatchings. In a few weeks, viewers will be able to watch the bandings of the babies. It's truly fascinating to see these wild animals care for their young. It's raining pretty heavily there now, so the female has been sitting on the eaglets, shielding them from the rain and trying to keep them warm, even with water dripping down her beak.
It's also super gross when one of them brings a big flopping fish back and starts ripping it apart.
Go to the cam here.
