Eagle Eye

In
a nation obsessed with “The Sopranos," it’s hard to imagine how
a single camera trained on a birds’ nest in Maine could become a hit
show on the Internet.

Then again, when the birds are baby bald eagles fighting for survival –
even pecking their siblings to death to fatten their own food supply –
perhaps the popularity of the “Bald Eaglecam" isn’t surprising.

Perched high in a massive white pine near the ocean in Maine’s Hancock
County, the "Eaglecam" nest was chosen for stardom by state wildlife
biologists, who placed a surveillance camera in a nearby tree in January.
Their goal was to capture the lives of the resident couple through breeding
season, and beam their story live to a worldwide audience.

But the biologists never predicted the sharp dramatic turn the tale would
take, as thousands of viewers watched live on their computers.
