3. Nature at it's finest! Nothing's cuter than baby birds IMO. |

8. I agree, baby birds are the cutest. I used to rehab birds, |
|
and those baby birds were always my favorites. Lots of work, but so cute. From watching this, I think I was a most stressed mommy than the real mommy---she doesn't seem to fret like I did.

5. Lots of eagles in Iowa... |
|
Here's another nest near Bettendorf. I grew up less than a mile from this nest.

14. That nest weighs a ton, according to the FAQ, and it's six feet across |
|
and it's eighty feet off the ground, in a cottonwood tree. It was originally built in 2007.
Quoted from the FAQs below the cam screen.
And yes -- I have NO idea why watching this is so soothing!!!
