BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - All eyes are on a Osprey nest at the Boulder County Fairgrounds where two parents laid three eggs.

The eggs were laid within about a week of each other in April.
Stephanie Powers, who has been watching the nest for months, says a second one could hatch in the next few days.
