Two months ago when I saw, for the first time, these pictures I was overwhelmed by the devotion of an eagle's couple to their 3 hatching eggs.
Temperatures in North Dakota, last February, went as low as - 20ºC but they stood firmelly in their post in spite of all the hard weather conditions.

These images were possible due to a non-profict project, established in 1988, called "Raptor Resource". It has developed their activity in the preservation of falcons, eagles, ospreys, hawks, and owls. Its purpose is to create, and directly maintain, nests and nest sites, and placing video cameras over the nests in order to bring people closer to the natural world.
Most of the raptors populations are listed as endangered species and I'm sure this project assures the participation and brings awareness about the urgent needs of the raptors preservation.
I'm sure that it will also have a major role on the next generation of preservationists.
