Since January, a live U-stream feed has received more than 165 million hits as people tuned into watch an eagles nest in Decorah, Iowa that is part of the Raptor Resource Project.
The three eaglets, dubbed E-1, E-2 and E-3 and their parents have kept the attention of a devoted online community. However, because the eaglets will no longer be in camera range, the project is closing down fan comments on their Facebook page today and the U-stream feed will soon go dark until next year.
Amy Ries, webmaster for the Raptor Resource Project, joins Christine Romans and Drew Griffin this morning to talk about why the public became so intrigued with this eagle family and to discuss what's next for the young eaglets.
