Well, it could be a girl. How can you tell the difference anyway?

Earlier in the week I posted a live video feed of a Bald Eagle family in the process of giving birth to three hatchlings. The young eagle family is being streamed online 24/7 from their nest atop a tree at a fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa via the Raptor Resource Project.

The first two hatchlings arrived over the weekend, and at the time, the third hatch was expected any day. Well, on Wednesday, the third finally arrived, and the Raptor Resource Project has posted the event on Youtube for those that missed it:

Below is a live video feed of a Bald Eagle in the process of giving birth to three hatchlings. The young eagle family is being streamed online 24/7 from their nest atop a tree at a fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa via the Raptor Resource Project.

The mother gave birth to the first hatchling on 4/2/11, and the second on 4/3/11. A third hatch is expected within the next couple of days.

The nest is roughly 80 feet above the ground, is 5-6 feet across and about 5-6 feet in depth, and weighs roughly 1.5 tons!
