SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. (WBOY)-- Lightning and thunder weren't enough to shake a mother eagle taking care of her eggs in West Virginia.
When serious storms struck West Virginia on Tuesday, the bald eagle nest at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in Shepherdstown was right in the middle of it.
A video shared by the NCTC shows a huge flash of lightning and clap of thunder at the nest Tuesday early morning while the eagle mom unflinchingly continues to protect and breed her eggs.
" Our mom eagle withstood a long night protecting her eggs from heavy rain and thunderstorms," the NCTC stated in the post. "This video shows her undeviating focus still undamaged in the early morning, as she continued to stand guard throughout loud thunderclap in the storm."
Statewide alert for man last seen at regional VA clinic
The bald eagle mom laid three eggs at the end of February and the start of March. Although one of the eggs broke last month, the two remaining eggs are expected to hatch within the next week or so.
Viewers can see the NCTC eagle nest reside on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Eagle Cam.
