As the California storm raged on, the two eagle parents took turns covering themselves in snow to shield their eggs

Friends of Big Bear Valley are broadcasting a livestream of two bald eagles, Jackie and Shadow, while they warm their eggs. Thousands of people are watching.

Two eagle parents in Southern California alternately cover their nest’s eggs during a severe winter storm, as shown in a video.

A pair of bald eagles, Jackie and Shadow, have reportedly been braving the cold weather of Big Bear, California, for over 40 days as they incubate their eggs, according to NBC Los Angeles.

 

A non-profit advocacy group called Friends of Big Bear Valley is recording the birds on a livestream around the clock. The birds are seen covering their eggs with snow and their feathers.

“Each have over 7,000 water-proof feathers covering their body, so the snow they shake off does not even make them wet,” the organization said before, adding that Shadow and Jackie also have an extra layer to keep them warm.Friends of Big Bear Valley shared an update on Monday’s Facebook page, stating that Jackie spent hours last weekend taking turns with her spouse nest-sitting.

When severe weather strikes, Jackie’s strategy is to get plenty of sleep. No need to fret, though; upon awakening, she tossed about all that delicate white material, and her legendary waterproof feathers ensured her total protection, even beneath her snowy canopy, according to the report.

 

Mоre than fоurteen thоusand оnlооkers flоcked tо see the eagle cоuple in the San Bernardinо Mоuntains оn Mоnday afternооn as they perched in a Jeffrey Pine tree.

 

The organization claims that the eggs, deposited on different days in January, are unlikely to hatch. However, they do state that the birds will keep incubating the eggs “for up to a few weeks before they decide to give up.”

Last week, another eagle in Minnesota made headlines when it sat on its eggs and became blanketed in snow. According to the state’s Department of Natural Resources, the snow covering the eagle’s body and eggs may actually help keep them warmer.
