If they're lucky and happen to tune in at the right time, dedicated viewers of the Southwest Florida Eagle Camera will witness firsthand the miracle of birth.
Since October 2012, Dick Pritchett Real Estate in Fort Myers, Florida, has provided a 24/7 livestream of a nest belonging to a bald eagle named Harriet and her partners, Ozzie (who died in 2015) and M15 (she bonded with him after Ozzie's death). More than 16 million viewers have been enthralled by the escapades taking place in the nest, and on Saturday, thousands watched as Harriet and M15 welcomed their newest eaglet, E9. There's one more egg that could hatch at any second, and fans of the feathered family continue to watch from home, hoping to catch the eaglet's arrival.
