Bald eagle dad refuses to get off eggs in California nest. See mom's clever tricks
Briefly

The article describes the interaction between Shadow and Jackie, a pair of bald eagles, at their Southern California nest. Though Shadow is committed to incubating their eggs, he sometimes struggles to share the responsibility. Jackie employs clever tactics to encourage him to leave the nest, including soft vocalizations and even using a stick to prompt him. The eggs, laid in late January, are expected to hatch around March 1, and the nesting pair can be viewed via a live camera.
Shadow seemed shocked. He tried, but couldn't pull the stick off his back. With much grumbling, he dragged himself out from under the stick.
Shadow was seen incubating the eggs just before 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7... Jackie has some clever tricks to get him out of the nest.
