my first view of Mom and Dad was around the 26th of March 2006,
there was very little organized public interaction , but quickly the group that provided the
internet stream , set up a little forum and it began, people posted what they saw, ( is that blue in the corner, sky or water?,
and what they heard on the cam , ( grunty sounds , a hippo? no one person said they had heard hippos in Africa lol and that wasn't them)
other forums as well started sharing topics and chats started.
The people watching counted switches, when the parents took their turn to incubate.......
hundreds of people , from all over the world who had never seen such an event where glued to
their computers, the cost of streaming and the servers needed grew. As one person lost their
connection to the stream, another watcher came out of the deep dark black hole,
and the Circle Of Doom ,(the buffering symbol for dreaded COD) ruled , refresh became the mantra .
Nightly news and news papers did stories on the eagles , the providers and the people who became
hooked on the eagles....
And more people became aware of the need to get involved in the world around them, have come
to know how to give aid to their wildlife, even though they became connected through a computer, never
having been able to see and be out in the wildlife areas
