Cool link Night, thanks! that eagle has a great view!

[white camellia]

what a serious eagle mother--to have a baby is not easy at all! Oh, what a painful look on her sweating face--she might give birth soon ... waiting ...

[white camellia]

dear pensive, have you got the view now? your flying bird cannot wait to see its kindred! ;)

[Pensive]

Hehe, finally I can see it!

I am waiting for other views......but this stupid MODEM.......sucks...

[white camellia]

i only got two eggs so far ... and she continues --so patiently and watchfully ... but very sweet!

[white camellia]

oh, don't worry, she hatches slower than the running of your modem...

[Pensive]

It is so cute!

[white camellia]

indeed! i've never been so close to a real eagle--not this tender side of her in sight!

[white camellia]

oh my god ! ....

she is beautiful. right behind our condo is a huge hill, well it looks like a small mountain and there is an eagle's nest there. Sometimes when I am coming home from my walk I look way up and see her soar and glide and watch over her own. It is awe inspiring.

Countless internet users who waited patiently to see a bald eagle chick hatch from its egg on a live webcam have had their hopes dashed. The nest's remaining egg was found to be cracked, with no sign of an eaglet. The first of two eggs went missing.

Doug Carrick fixed the camera by the nest, which was 120ft (36m) up a fir tree in the back yard of his house on Hornby Island off Canada's west coast.

But backers are now trying to feature other nests with live chicks.

They say millions of people visited the site and got caught up in the story of the pair of bald eagles trying to incubate two eggs, and they want to show them a tale with a happier ending.

Sad but grateful

"This has been a roller-coaster ride for me, along with everyone else," Mr Carrick said.

"I think I'm a fairly realistic guy, but my emotions tell me I would have liked to have had a chick. So would the kids watching all over the world."

His worst fears were confirmed when he saw one of the parent eagles peck at the cracked egg, then squawk to its partner.

A forum page on the website quickly filled with visitors' comments - many sad, but grateful for the chance they had to watch nature in action.

Bear-cam

A biologist and bald eagle expert who backed the project, David Hancock, is determined not to let enthusiasts down, though.

He spoke to the BBC News website from Powell River in British Columbia, where he was "standing looking up at another nest that we're hoping to get a camera into".

"This one's got three young in it, so we can hopefully get the rest of the story to the kids out there."

He hopes to have that nest on stream by Monday and another, near the city of Victoria, over the weekend.

The next project, he says, will be to set up webcams in the habitat of British Columbia's talismanic kermode bear, or spirit bear.

Catching them on a webcam will be more difficult, he admitted, and would involve just positioning a camera overlooking a promising spot of the river.

"When the bears go by they go by," he said. "If they don't you can just see the rippling river in the background."http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4978328.stm

The producer birds were just dissappointed with the ratings and decided to do something to spice up the show. Too bad for them it ended in a big loss of viewers instead.
