Video: Bald eagle saves eggs during tornado-warned storm
Tornadoes ripped through the South on Saturday evening. In Louisiana, multiple Tornado Warnings were issued as storms rolled through. Video shows intense winds picking up at Kisatchie National Forest, and a bald eagle trying to do everything it can to save its eggs.
KISATCHIE NATIONAL FOREST, La. – As tornadoes tore through the South on Saturday, a bald eagle was caught on camera fiercely protecting its eggs.
Video from Louisiana's only national forest showed an eagle in its massive nest during the storms.
A camera facing the nest, located high in the trees, caught a perfect view of the strong wind gusts whipping through the trees that surround the nest.
As the bald eagle stood guard over its eggs, the wind blew so hard that the eagle's tail feathers blew upward, away from the eggs.
Still, the eagle held its ground. At one point, the back of the bird's body was picked up off the nest by the wind, revealing the eggs underneath.
