Ozzie and Harriet SW Florida Eagles

 

 

SWFlorida Eagles Late First Switch...Beautiful Fly-In Of Ozzie... 8.48am 12-22-12 

 

 

On a serene, beautiful stretch of farmland in North Fort Myers, two bald eagles, nicknamed Ozzie and Harriet, have gone viral.

Since the launch of a Web cam that allows bird watchers and nature lovers alike to get a rare glimpse of their activities, the site has received more than 374,000 views.

They even have their own "business cards," and you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

The camera is on the nest on land owned by North Fort Myers Realtor Richard Pritchett, who funded the project.

"Our goal is to foster appreciation, admiration and respect for these magnificent creatures," said Pritchett. "We hope by streaming the video, we can better understand them and learn about their daily habits."
