Bald Eagle Observation

For the last few weeks we have been observing a bald eagle nest in Hanover, Pennsylvania.  We began our study of how they used the materials around them to build an enormous nest.  Watching the two adult eagles (named Liberty and Freedom) is now part of our Science Unit on Living and Non Living Things. We have watched them build their nest, lay two eggs, and now we wait.  We wait and watch them sit on the eggs to keep them at a constant temperature. 

Today we discussed how hard parenting is.  That sometimes being a Mom or a Dad is no fun at all.  For the eagles, today was one of those days. 

This is what they were facing today as parents.
And yes there is in eagle under there.
