DNR's EagleCam catches eaglet feasting
MINNEAPOLIS -- One of Minnesota's favorite animal babies is doing well, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
The eaglet that hatched on the DNR's EagleCam last weekend is already enjoying a buffet from their dad. So far, he's brought a fish, a duck and a squirrel to the nest for mom and baby.
A mighty scream!

The DNR says no food will go to waste. Any leftovers will be set aside or buried for a midnight snack.
Plus, the white-footed mice who also make a home in the nest will eat any leftovers.
Bald eagle chicks are among the world's fastest growing species, so it won't be long before baby gets big and fledges.
