DAD [sighs]:There.

That's the last of the receipts.

Phew!

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Suki.

[Dad yelps]

Uh, Mol, the door?

It's unusually windy today.

Sorry, Dad.

I'm just so excited.

♪ It's Eagle Egg Day!

[gasp]: Eagle Egg Day.

Let's take a look at the eggs.

[taps key]

Good news.

The eggs haven't hatched yet.

Check out the eagle cam.

I'm going to let everybody know.

[computer chirps]Hey, fellow eagle fans out there.

Today's the big day.

So you remember my friend Nina?

She's in charge of putting these web cameras

all over Windsong Wildlife Area,

which means we all get to watch the animals

any time we want.

And so do lots of kids who live outside of Alaska.

We've been watching the fox cam, the bear cam.

And...

[sings fanfare]

The bald eagle cam.

In the Koyukon language, they're called k'eyone.

Just look at those perfect little eggs.

Nina says bald eagle eggs usually take days to hatch.

And guess what?

It's been exactly days!

Isn't that egg-citing?

Get it?

Egg-citing?

[clicks mouse]

MOLLY: Come on, little k'eyone.

You can do it.

[wind gusting, camera mount squeaking]

[yelps]:The wind turned the camera around.

Now we can't see the eggs.

[moans]

Wait!

I know what to do.

Do not panic, people.

Do not panic!

[phone ringing out] Molly...

I'm miles away.

[screams]

Time to panic.

You don't need me.

You guys can fix the camera.

Oh, I like that.

Check the bunkhouse.

I'm pretty sure I left a map of all the cameras in there.

Mahsi',Nina.

You're the best.

[phone beeps]See?

Told you not to panic.

♪

Here it is, Suki.

[door closes]Okay, hmm.

Which one says, "Eagle Cam"?

[door opens, wind blowing, Molly gasps]

Hey!

Oh, look!

Here's the eagle cam.

But where does it go?

[whines]

MOLLY:One, two, three, four, five, six cameras,

and any one could be the eagle cam.

Any luck fixing that map, guys?

No.

I think the only way

to really figure out which one is the eagle cam

would be to go and check every single camera.

Dad, that is a great idea.

Wait, Molly, you don't actually think we can...

I'll start loading the four-wheeler!

[laughing]: Yup, great idea, Walt.

In case you're wondering,

you just volunteered your services.

♪

MOLLY: Woo-hoo!

The lookout should be just up ahead.

♪

Whoa, it's beautiful.

DAD [sighs]: It sure is.

And it's a lot of ground to cover.

Can you hand me the map?

Here it is.

DAD: Let's take this path here, around the lake.

It'll lead us right to the first camera.

Wait, we could take that road,

but look, this other path is way shorter.

Let's go this way.

♪

[voice vibrating]: Maybe we should have taken the longer path.

[voice vibrating]: No, this way is more fun.

♪

[door opens, bell ringing]

MR. PATAK: Hello.

Suvat?

Ooh, uh, what are we watching?

Bald eagle cam.

We're waiting for their eggs to hatch.

♪

MR. PATAK: Hmm.

You know there aren't any eagles on that screen, right?

[laughs]: Good point.

Why don't we watch one of the other animal cameras,

while we wait for Molly to fix the eagle cam?

[ATV approaching]

Did the map say anything

about the short path being so bumpy?

No.

But I'll put a little bumpy path right here.

So we know for next time.

Next time?

[gasps]: Dad, look at that.

♪

[gasps]: Oh, look!

Vadzaih--caribou!

TRINI: Oh, look, Molly!

Well, this is definitely not the eagle cam.

Hmm.

[typing]

TOOEY: Nope, definitely not the eagle cam.

[message alert beeps]

Hey, everyone.

Don't worry, we'll keep looking.

You know, I just came in here for a new pair of gloves,

but this is way more interesting.

Okay, I'll mark that this one is the caribou cam.

Hmm, let's see.

The next camera is...

[gasps]: On the other side of the river?

And the closest bridge is really far away.

[moans]: It's going to take forever to get to that bridge.

We've got to hurry, Dad.

Dad?

Look, Molly.

Don't you love seeing the vadzaihso close?

But the eagle cam?

Molly, watching nature on a laptop is one thing,

but this, this is the real deal.

Hey, how'd those vadzaihget across the river?

Huh.

[ATV approaching]

MOLLY: That's where they're crossing.

It's only a few inches deep.

Which means...

[both cheer]

Mahsi'choo, vadzaih.

Thank you, caribou![snorts]

We're going to save so much time!

Nope, bear cam.

GRANDPA NAT:Hello.

Hello.Hi.

Hi.Come on in.

All right.

[owl chirps, Molly gasps]

[hooting]

MOLLY: Owl cam.

MOM: Popcorn?

[all exclaim]

♪

Sh!

MOLLY: Okay, Dad, you want the good news

or bad news?

Bad news.

The bad news is, this is not the eagle cam.

But the good news is,

there are only two more cameras left to check.

One camera is over here, and the other over here.

We're here, in the middle.

Okay, now it's your turn.

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

Uh... the bad news?

It's about to get dark,

and we only have time to check one of those cameras.

But if we pick the wrong one, we'll miss the eagle eggs.

Then I guess we'd better pick the right one.

What was your good news?

That I've really enjoyed riding around the wildlife area

with you today.

I was hoping you were going to say

that you know which camera is the eagle cam.

But that's even better.

So which is it goingto be?

Um, not sure.

But let's try the one to the west.

[fox barking]

[kit responds]

[Molly gasps]

That is adorable.

AUNTIE MIDGE: Aw.

[all react]

This is why the internet was invented.

[all murmur in agreement]

Molly-- the eagle cam?Dad,

watching nature on a laptop is one thing,

but this is the real deal.

[barking continues]

Okay, I'm ready.

So we're going to check the camera to the west, right?

Right.

Definitely west.

[eagle chirping]

♪

Dad, wait!

Look, a bald eagle!

K'eyone.

And it's not flying west, it's headed east.

[engine starting]Follow that k'eyone,Dad.

♪

If we hadn't stopped to watch those foxes,

we would have gone to the wrong camera.

That's twice the animals have helped us today.

Thank you, animals!

Ana'basee.

Mahsi'choo,little foxes.

Hmm, those two are running out of daylight.

Tooey, let's check the eagle cam.

Will do.[taps mouse]

[tapping keyboard]

TOOEY [gasps]: It's still on the rocks.

Come on, Molly, you can do it.

There's the nest.

But where's the camera?

Up there.

Hurry, Dad.

Hani'in.

Did we make iton time?

Happy Eagle Egg Day,Molly.

Same to you, Dad.

[eaglets chirping]

And that's the story

of how we all got to welcome the bald eagle chicks

into the world.

Oh!

And as an added bonus, I fixed the map,

so Nina can keep track of the cameras.

I'm going to go hang it back up in the bunkhouse.

Keep an eye on the little ones until I get back.

Hey, everyone!

Molly here to answer your questions

about life in Alaska.

[taps key]

Kurt in Massachusetts asks,

"What animal do you want to see that you haven't yet?"

An umingmaq.

♪

Hi, Molly!

BOY: So today,

we're at a wildlife sanctuary.

A wildlife sanctuary is a place

where you take in animals that are hurt.

So Molly asked us what animal an umingmaqis.

GIRL: We have the history of the conservation center,

a list of all of their programs and tours, and a map.

BOY: We have to decide

what information is going to help us find an umingmaq.

I think a map's important

because it's where all the animals are

around the conservation center.

This is exactly what we need to help us find an umingmaq.

The moose is in the red barn!

BOY: There's info that tell us about each animal.

BOY : The Yupik word for wolf is kegluneq.

GIRL: Hi, wolfie.

Look, there's a fox.

BOY : So the Yupik name is kaviq.

So I don't think this is a umingmaq.

So the fox is right here,

so we should go that way, probably.

♪

Hey, we found the umingmaq.

The umingmaqin English is a musk ox!

BOY : There are signs here about the musk ox.

The under wool of an umingmaq is called qiviut.

Qiviutis the warmest, lightest wool in the world.

Qiviutand musk ox hides have been traditionally used

by Yupik people, as well as other indigenous groups

for clothing, bedding, and shelter.

Grandpa loves rocks.

He got me this book.

There.

Are those agates?

"Unpolished agates."

You were right, Trini.

Yes.

But how exactly do you know what's an agate

and what's a regular rock?

Hmm.

So it says unpolished agates are glossy,

like candle wax.

And you can often see light through the edges.

TOOEY: Yup, that's an agate, all right.

But when they're polished...

ALL: Whoa.

TRINI: They're way nicer.

I wonder how you polish them.

You sure ask yourself a lot of questions.

It helps me understand what I'm reading.

Okay, it says,

"Agates can be polished naturally by water and weather,

"but if you want to speed up the process,

you can use a rock tumbler."

You know, I think Grandpa has one of those.

Great!
