A live video feed from northeast Iowa with a bird's eye view of eagle eggs hatching has attracted more than 100,000 followers -- so many that the site crashed briefly Saturday after the first eaglet emerged. The camera sponsored by the Raptor Resource Project shows a nest 80 feet up in a tree overlooking a trout stream at the Decorah Fish Hatchery, where a pair of eagles is welcoming their brood. Three eggs were laid in late February, and the first eaglet started to emerge from its shell Friday. Bob Anderson, the project's executive director, said the second hatched about 5:30 a.m. Sunday and the third is expected in about three days. 'The world loves it,' said Anderson, who controls with the camera angle with a joystick from a nearby shed. Viewers can watch the adult eagles feed the hatchlings and trade shifts sitting on the nest. Anderson recently took on two volunteers to help man the camera so he could get some sleep and respond to hundreds of e-mails from eagle fans around the world. He said he got more than 500 e-mails from Saturday night to Sunday morning. The video feed reports more than 100,000 people are watching at any given time. Anderson said a spike in traffic overloaded the site Saturday, and it was down for about two hours. 'I have had bird cams for 20 years . . . I'm in shock, I'm in awe,' Anderson said of its popularity. The camera is about the size of grapefruit and camouflaged with leaves. It's equipped with an infrared light -- which the eagles can't detect -- for nighttime viewing.
