Amazing how their reflexes held them to the branches!

@wyomingadventures 8 часов назад

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.

@Imnotyourdoormat 10 часов назад

*_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 ..._*

Squirrels have this reflex too. In fact I'm a little surprised that we don't, considering our ancestors slept in trees.

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.

@DissYraiN 14 часов назад

@wyomingadventures 8 часов назад

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.

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.

@asanseil5553 4 часа назад

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.

It specifically says the eagle survived (instead of saying both birds survived) so I assume the poor hawk did not.

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.
