It is way past time for a baby animal break. This one’s via Gristlist:
A fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa is streaming a live feed of its bald eagle eggs. The first two hatched over the weekend, but number 3 is likely to go at any minute now (over the next couple of days, anyway). Keep an eye on the webcam for a rare chance to see an endangered bird get born.
As I post this the baby birds are sleeping underneath the mother. But earlier they were popping their heads out and looking around. They don’t start out looking like the regal birds they become, that’s for sure.
By the way, let’s make sure we let the Republicans shut down all programs like this, ok? Saving the bald eagle isn’t in the least bit patriotic — – in fact we should let Ted Nugent shoot these babies in the nest as part of his stage show. That’s what freedom’s all about.
