Watched this several times. I always notice the parent moving to other side of nest causing chicks to move away from the edge before the quake. He possibly pre sensed the quake. Nice catch of this action. Thx to cam operators at the time.

On Mt St Helens I talked to a farmer who had a bunch of pigs. He said he knew in advance when there was going to be an eruption because his pigs would start running around and oinking. Sometimes even 20 minutes before the mountain erupted.

Even a few minutes prior to the shake, parent Eagle looks to be on high alert. The cam only capture him lifted off the nest right around the time when he detected the initial shake and we can't see what he did but seems to me that he didn't go perch anywhere as he quickly came back down on the nest again. Then mom flew back in to check on her babies, and dad took off for immediate patrol. This is a dedicated pair.

[@legendofzelda2324]

Eagles in the wild don’t relax. They’re always on high alert. Like most animals in the wild. Even when they’re relaxing. They can get nervous or stressed but eagles 100% on high alert everyday all day.

[@nancyeaton731]

@@legendofzelda2324 The nest here in SW Florida is under daily attack, mostly from great horned owls, and other predators. Last night an owl struck one of the offspring and knocked it out of the nest, luckily it was ready to fledge and it was OK and able to fly this morning.

[@Cinderella635]

Agree with you. I did see several minutes before the quake the father moved the babies into the center of the nest and had them calm before the quake hit.

[@Relkond]

The nest is a buffet, and there’s party crashers in them woods. Of course the eagle is on alert. They’d be extinct otherwise. Creatures that are not alert to active threats usually follow the dodo - sooner more often than later.

[@clarcrab2]

I am a retired teacher, but every spring I taught a bird unit. Your comment reminded me of what I told the students about Robins, for example. They build their nest using twigs and mud. Can you imagine getting a tiny bill full of mud and bringing it back to the tree. Then going back to the pond, ditch, wherever they found the mud, again and again and again. We couldn't build a nest like they do with two hands and ten fingers!! I also try to imagine how they START the nest. That first twig, or stick. What keeps It from coming loose? God gives them amazing skills.

They are very beautiful and I am envious that you can see them first hand. In Scotland we have Golden Eagles and White-Tailed Eagles which are awesome to see too but I'd love to see a Bald Eagle. We couldn't introduce them here because it would interrupt our ecosystem, so I'll just have to rely on wonderful photographers

[@Lonesome__Dove]

It's more instinct than emotion.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@isbsey You mean, you don’t have deranged hunters in Scotland that would also keep killing the bald eagles before they even had a chance to really affect your ecosystem? True story: the Canadians had to re-introduce the bald eagle to the United States, because humanity is so fucked in the head that American hunters made the eagles practically go extinct, despite the fact they are the USA’s national bird/mascot!

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@Phrnch Mdl 1) I said *“practically* go extinct.” Key word is _practically._ Do you understand English very well? That means that they were extremely endangered and were on the verge of extinction! 2) Wherever did you get the idea that hunters only hunt to eat what they kill?? Do you think that the trophy hunters that go to Africa to kill lions (for example) are eating them? LOL. There is an obscene amount of species that hunters kill either just for the fun of it, or to stuff them to display them/mount their heads on their wall, etc. etc. And bald eagles are indeed extremely beautiful birds that make impressive stuffed creatures for the sick fucks that are into that shit!

During one of our rare earthquakes, I just happened to be outside with my freeranging flock of chickens. They all got very calm and settled underneath the bushes just right before it happened. In fact all of the wildlife around here was quiet. They sat still while it happened. Got up a few minutes after and went back to normal. They did the same during the big eclipse we had not too many years ago. Just gathered quietly and hunkered down, stayed quiet and still until it passed. One of my roosters, who was sitting with the flock, just put his head down and closed his eyes, as if going to sleep.

I feel panic if I am stopped at a light under an underpass all these years later and I was not ever on road when that one hit. Like everyone else, I was home from work early to watch the World Series with our 2 local teams. We called it “The Bay Bridge Series.”…….

The babies just sat still being calm. Earth shook

Not like they could fly away🤷🏾‍♀️lol

Daddy makes an appearance and checks if all is ok after the quake. The babies tell him all about it! Then mom gets to take off and stretch her wings. :)

As soon as the nest starts shaking, Dad bails. It’s like he says “Nope. I’m out. I can make more of y’all”. 😂 Glad the nest held and they’re all okay.

He might have been checking to see if anything was shaking the tree.

@@JasonMcChristian it’s possible. But I doubt it. An earthquake hits Southern California 7-10 times a day and you can usually feel and or hear them coming before the dishes start to rattle. Since he has probably lived his entire life in that area, and is over five years old, I’m going to bet that he knew what it was from the start. Probably just left the nest to check for damage near their tree.
