The Decorah Eagles

Have any of you seen this link to the live webcam of the Decorah Eagles.  The eaglets just hatched a couple of days ago.  The camera is also infrared so the nest can be viewed at night.  I'm going to keep the link posted in the upper right of my blog for you to check in at any time.  If the link doesn't work at school, stop by my office and see if we can see it on my computer and/or be sure to check it out at home.
