The Decorah eagle cam has attracted the eyeballs of millions, as many wait patiently to watch the arrival of three baby bald eagles. The viewership has been so overwhelming that the site crashed Saturday after the first egg hatched.
NPR reported a slight crack in the third egg a little after noon, but it's unclear if it has, in fact, hatched. The mother apparently immediately got on top of the eggs following the event.
Check out the live video of the nest below, where thousands are watching in anticipation of the final egg hatching.
