Watch the live eagle cam in Southwest Florida with us to await the final hatchling!

Not that long ago, the use of DDT threatened to wipe out eagles and osprey, which is probably why we still get a charge out of watching eagle chicks hatch — and here's another. The eagles live near Fort Myers, and local Realtor Dick Pritchett set up an eagle cam to watch them.

So, up to y'all — you can sit up and wait for Santa, or the final eaglet.
