I understand that nature is cruel at times but this live Eagle cam is heartbreaking to watch. She its sitting on two eggs in a historic blizzard.

she has weathered such storms before - but the sad thing is that the eggs are likely not viable having gone beyond normal hatch parameters. we’ll see if her survival instincts lead her off the nest.
The bird is alive and breathing. It knows how to stay warm.
Eagles do that in Alaska all the time. There is.even a natjre documentary on Netfix showing them doing this.
What a beautiful bird! I hope the eggs will remain viable.
I’ll never forget running across a field trying to stop a hay mower that was about to run over a pheasant and her nest. She never budged from staying on that nest to protect her young.
Now women celebrate murdering theirs.
BIG difference in being acclimated to Alaska vs Southern California.
Just curious, does the 100k dead in the Ukraine war bother you in your soul?
Am I required to make a list when I post a vanity? Get a life.
Big Bear is in a 7B hardiness zone, no?
Nature isn’t cruel it is simply completely disinterested.
Your soul is bothered by a bird nesting in the snow and I need to get a life. Sure.
That said I’m rooting for her.
Make that 7A: 0-5 degrees F.
Im not bothered by it, but Why can’t that person be bothered by both? not many folks like to see tragedy or death whether in Aninmals or people alike. They very likely are grieved by both.
Snow is a great insulator, so she will be fine and if her body temperature stays up those eggs will be tucked in the warmest crevasses of her body. I have never figured out why nature has birds of prey mating and producing young at this time of the year.
Watching the execution of Darwinian law is not for the squeamish.
I have wondered as well. However, they breed and nest in the winter.
It must have something to do with the time required for the young to be self sufficient by the next winter
Nature is harsh but bothers your soul? A great many animals in nature are born in spring, this has gone on for a long time and is part of their cycles.
