Popular Science's Emily Elert has posted a great live stream of a Great Horned Owl, named "Mrs. Tiger" whose two eggs could hatch any second.  

3:13 p.m. EST Mrs. Tiger just seems to be snoozing. Don't see any action yet.  

 

4:40 p.m. EST: So it seems we're a little behind schedule. After much sleeping, the mom-to-be stood up and it looked like something was happening. There was a lot of noise too. Turns out she was just getting comfy and rearranging the eggs.  Here's a screenshot of the commotion:

6:30 p.m. EST After another bout of shuffling around, we got a glimpse of the egg!
