Amazing how their reflexes held them to the branches!
It's because their tendons tendons are the opposite of how ours work. It's like their feet lock in naturally. That's how birds are able to perch for their whole lives.
@@wyomingadventures amazing! Thank you. God’s creatures are incredible.
Save 😢them eagles!!! Bless them all!!
Wow! glad they survived
What if they didn't?? It's how nature works
*_When Human Beings release their fist muscles their hands relax. But Birds are built in reverse fashion. That is they must labor to unclench their claws. They naturally want to clench on their own. That's why the Birds didn't fall off the branches once rendered unconscious. It's the same science they use to sleep at night on the roost ..._*
Exactly 💯
Squirrels have this reflex too. In fact I'm a little surprised that we don't, considering our ancestors slept in trees.
@@KFrost-fx7dt Evolution made us soft, we loss our mojo millions of years ago!
chatgpt
It specifically says the eagle survived (instead of saying both birds survived) so I assume the poor hawk did not.
Our government need to spend more money and time on projects like this instead of migrants and wars.
This is a STATE funded agency. I swear, MAGA are the least intelligent people in the nation.
You're here because of immigration...
Allowing puttin to march on... Not an option.
Amen.
Eagle was like "I just want to raise my chicks in a safe area. Now THIS. I didn't have nest insurance, so I'm setting up a Gonestme to build another nest. By God, my clutch of eaglets _will_ get through this!"
It's cool how they still latch onto the branch even when rendered unconscious.
Also, it is very sad how much wilderness has been and continues to be destroyed. Most people these days don't even realize what has been lost.
you ever watch boxers get knocked out and their body locks up?
It's natural for their tendons to lock on and be relaxed. It's totally the opposite for us. Look it up. I'm not good at explaining it.
@@wyomingadventures Yeah I vaguely know about it, it's still cool though.
Omg! How sad! 😢😮
Omg poor thing
Hope they don't have any long lasting effects from the strike
Boulder county is growing TOO MUCH.
Oh no! So hard for them to start over on those huge nests 😢😢
WE ARE BEHIND YOU BALD EAGLES SURVIVE AND LIVE.
What a shame, it isn't enough that people are encroaching on wildlife habitat's, shrinking it more every day. Wildlife has to deal with climate change too, that cottonwood nest tree was hanging on by a thread even before the lightning strike. Close the trail permanently to give the Eagles some peace and a chance at survival.
I love how science cannot explain why lightning strikes where it strikes. Why a nest, unless you're an undercover gov't agent, or beyond, who has the ability to use a lightning weapon, and aim it at specific objects.
Marjorie Taylor Green knows 🤣
Hmmmm , i wonder what Kentucky Fried Eagle taste like ?
Wildlife can NOT catch a break between this and wildfires...! Quit building crap apartments near their nests..
That is so crazy ..and on film.
What film?
So people walking on the trail have nothing to do with the lighting strike, nor interruption of their habitat.
Holy this is one of those you wouldn't believe it unless it was caught on video.
Its just nature
they fainted when they saw their home was destroyed.
Boulder is probably going to spend 10 million dollars trying to make lightning illegal in Boulder now….
If you were offered a free education of your choice. Would you take it?
Looks like someone sabotaged the nest. Should be investigated.
Yes! It looks like some Government agent put a bomb or some explosive in the nest!
Crazy, trees are pretty good conductors and that was definitely one of the biggest ones in the area
There's no way to avoid lightning. Just prepare for the worst!
We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two....
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Like the man said, don't screw with their food and they will stay. I have baldies around my VA property because there are tons of rabbit, groundhog and so on.
I saw the Fox31 car leaving the area on my bike ride to check out the site
Philadelphia needs to change the name of their football team to respect the eagles.
Wowww... That's incredible.
can we start a gofoundme for this eagle to get a new nest?
That's a bad omen on Eagle/ America/Babylon.
i had a hanging basket rod and some plants on them and robins made a nest there and had babies, socute and the next day they were dead and spewed about and we had a storm I figured the rod got hit by ligtening, there were no survivors. I felt bad.
Sad situation
😢
A thunderbird has hatched
Left out that the eggs in the nest were fried
Haitians call that fried chicken.
You're sick..
jeez quick fire words, slow down and be more personable! sheesh
Boulderites.
Почему именно в гнездо, там акры свободной земли и деревьев вокруг
Weather Manipulation 100% HAARP
Oh look, another "flat" Earther!
@BigKandRtv --------------- ✈️ 👀 look up every now and then.. see those lines shlomo?!!
@@JasonAlan-d9l You can’t really fail to understand contrails, can you? Get your pink tush off the couch, put down the video games and go to an NHRA event. I am sure you will be scared, but you need to let go of mama’s teat. We’ll make a man out of you yet.
I was waiting for them to blame climate change….
I was waiting for them to blame democrats. How does that help?
Warm air can hold more water, one degree increase world wide is trillions of additional gallons in the atmosphere, but you're trash so don't worry about it.
@@ride1123 Yes, thank you! Biden's fault! Dems did it!
what an ignorant and unsympathetic comment. It was a freak incident, you nincompoop.
Why is there always someone trolling around trying to make everything political and creating divide amongst people?
That's a sign that Eagle(America/Babylon) will fall.
I would take that as a sign from God, folks.
Colorado seems determined to grow and develop at any cost, this is but one of those many costs. What's the problem Colorado? Afraid you won't become California 2.0 soon enough?
You know what else is a bad omen?
Grown men being "weird" with themselves around kids.
Ok, so stop being weird around kids then.
Way to out yourself MAP.
That's a bad omen for the United States of America. 🦅 ⚡
A sign showing how screwed the U.S. is.
If it's green, it must be developed. The only green that matters is the $$.
Dominion is what matters, not stewardship.
Red Tail Hawk finally I am going to get some Bald Eagles Eggs, God You Shall Not Pass.
WEATHER MANIPULATION CLEARLY
fried Chicken ?
It's an eagle dumb as
It's an Omen.
Damn democrats did this to that eagle smh
More like the CULT GOP . GET REAL.
The GOP is the party trying to DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY..FOLLOWING THE AMERICAN HITLER...PER VANCE.
@@bettechic5052yet the Democrats bypass all democracy and inject Kamala Harris as presidential candidate 😂 who is out to destroy democracy??? 👎👎👎 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
uh, no
Rachel is such a babe! dang! 😍
Thor hates eagles.
Puny god... Ohh wait that was his brother.
Zues gRaped woman as an eagle
New construction = global warming! Studies shows new roads new buildings / housing temperatures in those areas are 1 to 2 degree's higher then before the construction began. So sad to see the open land being used that way.
Why are you posting old stuff? Not enough real news to talk about?
Omelets anyone 🫣
There wasn't any eggs. 😂
@@wyomingadventures that's lucky 😊
Were there baby eagles? God bless them
