But there’s no denying that they’ve become an online sensation. Thousands of people tuned in last weekend to watch as two tiny eaglets emerged from their carefully-guarded eggs, thanks to a live streaming “Eagle Cam” installed by the school.
Since then, online viewers have been able to watch Mom dutifully warming her hatchlings while Dad works around the clock to hunt and bring back food. The birds have been featured on multiple TV news broadcasts and been the subject of national and international stories. They even have their own Facebook and Tumblr pages.

The college is pleased with all of the attention. “One of the wonderful takeaways is that it has brought to light the resurgence of eagles,” Kozelle said. “They were endangered and now they are coming back from the brink.”
If you’d like to watch for yourself, the live stream can be found here.
