Wildlife Of The Day
Need a little animal fix? Try WVEC.com’s Eagle Cam! The eagle cam has been broadcasting a bald eagle’s nest on the internet since mid-March, when the eggs started to hatch out. There are three eaglets, which are now getting big. This is actually fairly unusual; although laying one to three eggs is common, it’s relatively rare for all three to make it to fledging. (They have a teeny penchant for fratricide if the parents aren’t bringing quite enough food.) Mom and Dad seem to be doing a good job, though, so all three are doing a lot of practice for their first flight these days. If you watch closely, you may be lucky enough to see the big moment!
Being as I am a sucker for all wildlife, I have been seriously considering whether my cat would enjoy having an eagle in the apartment to keep him company. Taco’s response?
Uh, yeah. Maybe I’ll just watch.
