On a rainy day when there is no prescribed burns going on in New Jersey, I got to watch something very special almost an hour ago. Thanks to the wonders of web cams with live streams available on the internet I got to watch an eaglet (baby Eagle) being hatched.
There is a pair of Eagle that are nesting at Duke Farms located in Somerset County NJ. The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey in collaboration with Duke Farms has a webcam, known as the Eagle Cam, mounted over their nest.

Two eggs were layed a little over five weeks ago. Egg # 1 hatched today at about 3:37 PM EDT. I was fortunate to be watching when the egg hatched. Words escape me. All I can say is that it was very special and a privilege to watch something so awe inspiring. I took some screen grabs as I was watching the live stream which I'll share with you.
