Eagle cam gets big viewers

A website had so many visitors it crashed on Saturday. At least 100,000 were watching a live video feed of eagle eggs hatching when the site went down. It was from northeast Iowa at the Decorah Fish Hatchery, and in case you're wondering that third egg hasn't hatched yet. One eaglet hatched Friday morning, the other Sunday, and the next one is expected in about two more days. The eagles don't know they're being watched. The camera is camoflauged in the trees, even equipped with infrared light so we can watch at night.
