From Rock to Real Dad: Missouri Bald Eagle Cares for Eaglet
TL;DR Summary
Murphy, a bald eagle who gained fame for incubating a rock, is now caring for an orphaned eaglet at the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri. The eaglet was rescued after a nest was blown down by high winds, and Murphy was chosen as a foster parent. Wildlife officials are carefully monitoring the bonding process between the two birds, and are taking steps to prevent the eaglet from imprinting on humans. The sanctuary is currently raising funds to provide food for Murphy and the eaglet.
