A webcam showing two bald eagles patiently incubating their two eggs has captivated people around the world and is getting 10 million hits a day.
The eagle chicks are due to hatch at any time and online viewers are hoping to witness the moment the eggs begin to crack live.
Doug Carrick, a 73-year-old retired accountant, set the webcam up after noticing the eagles had nested high in a tree on his land in Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada.
"When you sit and have your afternoon tea or morning coffee and there's the eagle looking at you, it's very hard to ignore it," his wife Sheila told CBC .
Mr Carrick gained permission two years ago for a camera overlooking the nest to be set up while the eagles were absent on their annual migration.
A small plexiglass housing was put in place to protect the mini-camera, the device was connected to his computer and Mr Carrick started broadcasting images last month.
