We enjoyed some fabulous "reality tv" today watching this link to a live-streaming, hatching nest of eagles in Iowa. The kids' curiosity was piqued with the information on the website, including the link to this PBS documentary about eagles. While the documentary has some mature content (e.g., one of the mommy eagles dies in a snowstorm), the kids were fascinated with it (and delighted at any opportunity to watch a video), and M really seemed to absorb a good amount of content.
Now we're off to puddle-stomp our way to the library to borrow some books about eagles!
