Last year the New York City Parks Department had a program to release four Bald Eagle chicks into the wild. They had a webcam installed to watch the platform where the chicks had to learn to fly. It was fascinating to watch.
There were four chicks, one really smart one, two about average and one dumdum that everyone loved. One dramatic moment: She couldn't get her courage up for two days just to get back onto the platform after she had hopped to nearby branch. We watched as she sat there while the others happily ate her food.
Finally, she jumped. It was like seeing one of your own kids make it home safely.
It was great on the net but I don't see Fox going for it this summer.
