Bella Protects Eaglets - Severe Weather Tstorms - Tornado Warning - May 3, 2021 - NCTC Eagles

This footage was captured evening of May 3, 2021 as severe weather pushed thorough the area. At one point there was a Tornado warning issued for the Shepherdstown area, which is where this nest is; it was a scary weather evening. Bella stayed on the nest with her eaglets trying her best to protect them from the storm although the eaglets are too big to fit underneath her coat feathers. It all ends well, the eagles weathered another West Virginia storm! These live cams teach us something new everyday and it always amazes me how protective and dedicated the parents are to their young!

About the NCTC Bald Eagles
The resident bald eagles are named Bella (female) and Smitty (male). Bella and Smitty has been together since the fall of 2018. Bella replaced the long-term resident female Belle in 2018; Belle was injured in a territorial dispute with other adult eagles. The resident male Smitty has been at this nest since 2011 when he replaced the long-term resident male Liberty.

The NCTC Bald Eagle nest is located 75 miles from Washington, D.C. on the campus of The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' National Conservation Training Center (NCTC). The campus is located at Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The nest and territory is prime real estate located about 1/4 mile from the Potomac River; rich in resources for an active bald eagle family and at times visitors/intruders challenge Bella and Smitty for their territory.
