Dedicated Parenting
Eagles nest early in the spring and are often caught in winter-like weather. It takes great dedication from both eagle parents to incubate eggs. Keeping the eggs warm during the brooding* period is essential. Both parents take turns with this task.
(* Brooding is the process by which the parent birds maintain the body heat of the young in a nest by sitting on or over the young.)
