Braving a hail storm in Colorado, a female osprey has shown an incredible motherly instinct by protecting her three unhatched eggs.
The mama bird has her nest at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont, Colorado. On May 9, between 10:30 and 11 p.m., two live cameras placed at the site by Boulder County Parks & Open Space filmed the osprey’s touching determination as she sat with her eggs, while a thunderstorm raged around her and icy hail filled the nest.
