I know many homeschoolers, us included, enjoyed watching the live Molly The Barn Owl Cam. Ustream also has access to a live feed of an eagle's nest. The female eagle of this nest has laid 3 eggs. The first on Feb 23rd, the second on Feb 26th, and the last on March 2, 2011. From what I understand it takes about 35 days before the eggs will hatch. So they should be hatching March 30th-April 6th 2011 (give or take a few days). This nest cameras are maintained by Rapture Resource Project.
These eagles have been a couple since fall of 2007. It was estimated then that the female was about 4 years old. Some people in the chat, on ustream's site, seem to indicate that this is the male's second mate that his first was killed in a storm. So I'm not sure how old the male is, but the female is about 8 year old today. In 2008 they had 2 babies, 2009 3 babies, and 2010 3 more babies. Thus they are old pros at this so to speak.
I came across your blog on the Top Blog Christian Parenting site. See you again soon. Blessings!
