I had to look up where this is because it looks like 3 or 4 inches of snow.
All the bald eagles are nesting now in Pennsylvania. They nest in late winter so sitting on snow covered nests is common for this species.

I would guess that there is plenty of food to be caught in the spring from all the other births in the animal kingdom.

In your world “douchebags” souls are not bothered by birds nesting in snow. Gotcha.

Three weeks ago 43,000 aquatic animals died in East Palestine. If you're thinking of hurting yourself over this please call 911.

Ignore that idiot. Zero sum game thinkers are the most mentally dull on in this forum.

You’re a real piece of work. This has nothing to do with Ukraine.

If it makes you feel a bit better.....

We had a dove who made her nest every spring in the hanging basket on the front porch. One spring there was a nasty, 3 day storm which included some rain, but mostly freezing rain, ice and snow, along with awful winds. She sat there through it all. I wondered if she had died, but she hadn’t. She just hunkered down for the three days and at the end of it seemed perfectly fine, and the eggs hatched a little while later.

It was brutal to watch, but I had to let nature take its course.

‘Ignore that idiot.”

I am always amazed at what pops into the minds of some people when hearing/reading something completely inconsequential to their thoughts.

I have compassion for animals—it’s the way I am. But, I too have compassion for my fellow man when necessary, but not as much.

can you say fish...

When our water supply was threatened, a Water Authority employee would climb the ladder on the tank and dunk 6 very lively fish.

This bothers me in my soul.

Sunshine thieves never sleep. The light keeps them awake, needing to spread any darkness they can dredge up, just in case somebody might not be aware of a negative wave.

Although that may not be your intention, your comment is unnecessarily harsh as well as irrelevant to the topic of a mother bird dealing with the cruelty of nature.

Seems like the trend here.
Comments to disrupt a good thread.

As avital2 said, big Bear is ski country, I have slept in sub-zero there, their record is 25 below zero in 1979

The Eagle is dealing with conditions that are not very unusual for it.

Last year a bluebird pair built a nest in one of my bluebird houses pretty early in the Spring. Then we got a wicked cold snap. None of those 5 eggs hatched. I waited and waited, and eventually mama and daddy abandoned it, and started working on another brood in a different house. Those ones were fine, as were the next ones. I can see they are eyeing up their options for this year already. Looking forward to what transpires.

This is not downtown Los Angeles. Big Bear Lake is at 6,743 feet. These conditions are not that unusual there.

This is a reminder of why civilization is changing, we are affected because now we can see the normal and the routine and it seems magnified and brutal and as though we should do something about it.

Frequently I see a horrible story about a person doing something terrible that indicates the collapse of humanity and then I check where, and it is in some distant state or on the other side of the world and I think good gosh, we fill our days with these stories that in the past we would never have heard about.

Love your post. You’re right on the money. Some kid on the other side of the world catches chicken pox and it’s major news event. The do gooders with their cellphones and laptops all want to start a GoFundMe page for the family. Geez. I get really PO’d when I read some Earth-shattering news and finally get to the part where the “breaking news” happened a month ago somewhere in the Sahara desert.
