An unconventional family of bald eagles in Illinois have become an internet sensation. Two males and one female are nesting together and raising three eaglets along the Upper Mississippi River near Fulton, Ill., and thousands of people are watching online through a webcam livestream. The eaglets Hope raised with Valor II thrived and eventually left the nest — and Valor I seemed to pick up a few parenting lessons from Valor II. They were raising two freshly hatched eaglets together when two other eagles began attacking the nest. "The two males stayed and fended off the marauding eagles and took care of the babies until they fledged," Hirschlag said.
