This Iowa nest camera web site is now regularly getting over 8000 viewers at one time.

Interesting-- the male eagle lines the three eggs up when he incubates them, and the female arranges them in a triangle. Probably has to to with the much greater size of the female, whose brood patch covers all three eggs at once, while the male may have trouble just keeping two under his breast.

I sent my sister a link. She is a teacher, and the nest camera is displayed on a TV in their break room all day.

This camera will really get popular when those eggs start hatching!
