From NPR.

Two long-awaited baby eaglets have hatched in a nest east of Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of fans from around the world watched on a livestream.

The bald eagles — Jackie and Shadow — have become internet-famous over the last few years as a camera hoisted high in a towering pine has beamed their family drama to the world 24/7. Fans have watched ravens eat Jackie’s eggs twice. This year, they got two. But late Saturday night, one of the surviving eggs hatched. The second followed the next morning.
