A mama mallard has made herself at home in a nest meant to serve as the "set" for the Department of Natural Resources' wildly popular EagleCam.
What's happening: The pair of eagles that starred in the stream started a new nest a few hundred feet away, leaving their former base unoccupied, DNR's Lori Naumann told the Star Tribune.
The duck moved in April 13, DNR says, with eggs appearing on the feed a few days later.
What we're watching (literally): The eggs should hatch in about three weeks, per DNR.
At that point, mother duck will lead her ducklings to the water.
