1. Poor Momma!

Stay warm! XOXOXO

4. Her feathers will keep her nice and warm

and she'll keep her offspring warm.

5. Yes, lucky for her and them

her coat's ALWAYS with her!

6. Not only that, it's warmed up enough to be rain

instead of the 9-10 inches of snow that storm dropped on us on Friday-Saturday.

Don't feel sorry for us, the temperature warmed up to the 60s on Sunday and the snow's all gone except on a few high peaks.

7. Glad your snow's gone.

It was probably pretty for a while. Our 5 or so inches are still here, shrinking a bit but DIRTY and UGLY, and more coming Thursday!

13. Me too! Those two do an incredible job of keeping those eggs warm.

Raptor resource didn't think they'd have any hatchlings last year with the sub-freezing temps, and there they were! The first year, I watched them nonstop. Now, I just check in here and there. I love how Dad lines them up in a row and Mom makes a triangle with them. They have such personality.

8. Does the male ever sit on the nest

I have read that both male and female bald eagles will share incubating privileges

[yortsed snacilbuper]

9. Yes,

they take turns!

[cwydro]

10. They share incubating chores

Check out my link up thread.

The Decorah eagles have three eggs. Mom and Dad share duties, but mom is the one on the nest all night.
