I've watched NOVA shows that feature bald eagles. I was surprised to learn that both male and female bald eagles take turns sitting on the nest during the incubation period. They trade off to hunt and feed. So, we don't really know if this is the male or the female. But, in any event, it is good parenting.

I saw this on one of the morning shows and they said the father is taking turns also.

Well, it's either Mom or Mr. Mom, LOL.

Cool story, thanks for the thread!

Another article:

"...According to Washington, D.C., news station WTOP, a bald eagle live stream in Hanover, Pa., captured the scene: 'The bald eagle was stoic. Occasionally, as the eagle's beak became covered, it moved its head for room. But other than that, the national bird remained steadfast...'

...Actually, two birds, which WTOP called mates, have been on egg duty. And on Friday, conditions were a bit better, allowing viewers of the stream to make out one of them..."

Animals are so much more humane than human beings.
