Delta's Duck Cam

EGELAND, N.D. — What a show! Viewers of the Delta Duck Cam, a live-streaming web feed of a wild nesting duck on the prairie of North Dakota, were treated to the dramatic hatch of seven ducklings late Saturday night.

Pintail 004, a hen northern pintail that chose a Conservation Reserve Program field near Egeland, N.D., as a nest site, successfully incubated her eggs for 23 days, all while being watched live by web viewers from around the world. About 14 hours after the hatch was complete, the hen led her brood to a nearby pothole, where the ducklings will forage for food and grow throughout the summer. Read more
