It's strange how ferocious their beaks and talons are, yet most of the work they need to do is so delicate, like feeding tiny chicks and building intricate nests.

It's interesting to hear them chatter to each other when they're both in the nest.

[@livetotell100]

Just talking about the kids, if she is hungry, how's the nest, etc....Haha.

[@geslinam9703]

I’ve been watching what is currently going on, poor things are dealing with wind, cold, snow, and eggs they say probably won’t hatch. I know eagles are built for cold climates, but it’s still hard to watch. Looking at this, it’s just so touching. Makes you wonder what they are thinking…he’s just poking around, rearranging sticks, trying to look helpful…then she gets up, and I’m sure it’s so he can get a look at the babies. To see such fierce looking birds, being so gentle with their little ones. Brings tears to my eyes. It’s just beautiful!!

[@kells9660]

unfortunately ravens just got them 😭 the eggs never developed though so maybe its a good thing

[@billkormas3460]

they're so cute

[@geslinam9703]

@@kells9660 yes,it’s a good thing. Of course we don’t like to see it happen, but the ravens have to eat too. If the eggs weren’t viable, then better that they don’t go to waste.

[@cassimir4u]

Dad sees his babies and reacts with surprise and just keeps looking at them. Reminds me of human dads when they see their baby for the first time. Their reactions are the same as they look at their baby in disbelief that it’s theirs. 😂

[@cassimir4u]

That is one sturdy nest. It has been discovered that Bald Eagle nests average one ton of weight and others weigh up to two tons. It seems these Eagles bring a stick to add to the nest every time they come in. At least the cute little ones won’t fall out.

[@ttss5726]

Actually they are looking to verify if it looks like them and if it’s theirs lol. Once marriage and babies come it turns in the life time prison term.... can’t have any freedom, work but can’t spend money without questions no booty you get the point.....

I'm so glad I found an eagle cam to watch. About 15 years ago, I was watching a cam, and the eaglet died. The mother was crying. I've never heard an eagle cry. It totally broke my heart.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more precious video of my favorite Eagle pair!! That was incredible! Shadow watching that baby, being so curious… being proud .. Then - Watching Jackie feed the first baby and then wanting to incubate on the nest and Jackie tells him strongly - No!! not now daddy - go get some food - you’ve got a family to feed! Oh my goodness… I’ve been watching them so long and I gotta say this video… Most precious ever!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😊😊😊😊

[@someoneelse.2252]

You said that right !!!.

[@astraldim]

Do you actually believe an animal has the ability to be more nurturing than a human? Just because your experiences aren't good doesn't mean that's all. Just curious what do you do for your community to change it? You don't think animals get raped and the parents eat their young?

This is the first video that I've seen from 4 years ago absolutely beautiful ❤️ so sorry the eggs didn't hatch this year. 😢

[@jennapendleton9842]

So sweet and gentle. If the baby doesn't reach for it, she eats it herself. If the baby drops it, she picks it up. So beautiful!
