The local pair of eagles has two eggs, and the male and the female take turns to look after them. They had probably expected the arrival of snow, as they collected a lot of nesting material before the storm.
Surprisingly, the snow cover can even help keep eggs warm by acting as an insulator, according to the DNR. “The eggs are now nestled further down in the soft fur, feathers, leaves and grasses tucked in around them.”
