DECORAH, Ia. - As many as 100,000 people have logged-in at any given time on their computers to watch two bald eagles incubating three eggs in a nest, 80-feet high in a cottonwood tree in Iowa.

People from more than 130 countries have logged on to watch, and teachers across the country are using it in their science classes.

Since the cameras were set up, the web site has had more than 10 million hits.

The parent eagles have been together for four years and have successfully hatched eaglets every year.

Their nest is almost 6 feet across and weighs about one-and-a-half tons.
