Bald Eagle buried under snow up to head to protect it's eggs

My friend Jessica always send me these cool stories!

A bald eagle in Minnesota was spotted partially buried under a mound of snow, with only its head poking out, as it remained in its nest and waited out a storm in order to keep its eggs warm.

The eagle was captured on the EagleCam managed by Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources, which is currently livestreaming the nest 24/7 as the pair of birds incubate their eggs. The eagles welcomed their first egg of the season on February 15, followed by another on February 18, according to the DNR.

The eagles were also apparently aware that a storm was coming, according to the DNR, which said Tuesday: "Both of the eagles have delivered more nesting material in anticipation of the coming snow storm."

Fans of the EagleCam left supportive comments on DNR's Facebook page. "That is ONE DETERMINED parent," one commenter wrote on a photo of the eagle covered in snow. Another person added: "Bet her kids won't ever appreciate it."
