VANCOUVER — The critters inside the eggs, mere days, if not hours from hatching, aren't the only ones with eagle eyes.
Thousands of people from around the world are flocking to the website for B.C.-based Hancock Wildlife Foundation to watch live streaming video of a pair of bald eagle eggs.
Two cameras, set up near a nest in Delta, B.C., first caught the mother laying the eggs in February.
With the eaglets ready to emerge any time now, more and more viewers are tuning in, watching for the slightest sign of their arrival.

One user on the site's discussion forum said Friday, “Not seeing any indication of cracks or pips in the eggs,” a posting that was accompanied by a frowning emoticon.
The not-for-profit Hancock Wildlife Foundation was established by David Hancock, a biologist, filmmaker, writer and publisher. It aims to promote the conservation of wildlife and its habitats through science, education and stewardship.
