On Thursday, the US Fish and Wildlife Service shared a clip on Twitter depicting a pair of native eagles collaborating to construct a nest at the National Conservation Training Center located in West Virginia. This facility offers instruction and development opportunities for environmental management professionals. The eagle duo are residents of the grounds, situated in a lofty perch.
Stop scrolling and watch this bald eagle family perform their branch manager duties. In this clip, one of the eagles brings a long branch to the nest, and the others work together to carefully position it with the grip of their beaks. The USFWS humorously reminds us that this eagle family deserves our attention.
As per the USFWS, bald eagles have a lifelong mating bond. The duo residing at NCTC, Bella and Smitty, have produced a pair of eggs this season and are alternatingly taking care of their incubation.
Other birds carrying out typical avian behavior
A majestic, white bald eagle, which is a rare sight, was filmed in a wild video where it was seen carrying off a Canada goose. The sheer size of bald eagle nests can be difficult to comprehend if one has never seen them in person. These birds of prey often use large branches during construction, with the largest recorded nest measuring up to 10 feet (3 meters) in size while weighing over 2 tons. As such, Bella and Smitty have ample space to expand their abode.
If you loved witnessing the camaraderie between the eagles, you can keep up with their upcoming adventures through the EagleCam livestream, which is presented by the Outdoor Channel in collaboration with USFWS and the Friends of the National Conservation Training Center. Lately, there has been some excitement as an intruding eagle has been disturbing the resident pair. Compared to watching The Kardashians, the live stream offers much more captivating entertainment.
