Devoted Eagle Mother Broods Her Eggs Despite Being Completely Covered In Snow
When it comes to protecting her children, nothing is impossible for a loving mother. There is no length to which mothers will not go to protect and keep their young ones safe from danger or harsh environmental conditions.
Nothing exemplifies this sense of duty and responsibility more than this devoted eagle, who keeps her nest safe and her eggs warm despite being completely buried in snow. The amazing scene occurred in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and it was perfectly captured on camera by a wildlife camera!
The National Conservation Training Center initially shared footage of the stoic mother enduring the harsh conditions on Facebook before it was shared on other social media platforms. Wildlife officers are using a wildlife camera to monitor the nest of these bald eagles and record how they care for their young.
For quite some time, Bella, the mother, and Smitty, the father, have been hatching their eggs in this 100-foot-high nest. It has become the couple's permanent home for hatching their eggs and nurturing their young until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
As the video shows, this couple makes devoted and caring parents, and you can’t take anything away from them. One thing that bald eagles have in common is their willingness to go to any length to protect their nest, even if it means getting drenched in rain, covered in snow, and facing freezing temperatures.

"The eagles are incredibly good parents with hearts big enough to love and care for their young ones," said Randy Robinson, a National Conservation Training Center specialist.
"They will sit on the eggs at all hours of the day and night, even when the weather is bad."

Bald eagles typically lay eggs in early spring, so they must sometimes endure harsh weather conditions such as snowfalls and freezing temperatures. However, this does not prevent them from keeping the nest warm for the eggs to brood and hatch. Indeed, hatching early greatly benefits the chicks.

They mate in January or February and lay their eggs early enough that the climate can be very harsh, with icy conditions and snow. The main advantage of laying eggs so early is that the young hatch early, and when these young hatch in mid-March, there will be plenty of food available, allowing them to mature quickly.
Keep an eye on eagle mother Bella as she protects her eggs at all costs! It is clearly a heartwarming video clip.
