Eagle Dad amazed at how big his chick has gotten
There’s something joyous in watching fathers care for their kids. In nature, the sight of a majestic male Bald Eagle taking shifts on the nest to keep his eggs warm, feeding his hungry nestlings, or vigilantly guarding them against predators conjures feelings of warmth and hopefulness.
Science would tell you that the eagle is merely employing its energy resources to perpetuate its gene pool and ensure survival of the species. But what you see is a nurturing father tending to his babies. You relate… you connect… you’re bonding with nature on a deeper, more human level.
At New Jersey Audubon, we understand the importance of feeling connected to nature. In fact, we exist to help you do just that, caring for the wildlife around us and inspiring others to do the same.
Please make a gift to New Jersey Audubon today to honor all the dads who matter in your life, and to bring families closer to nature. Your gift will provide programs and events that bring families outdoors to discover and appreciate our natural world – like the three dads of our Pete Dunelins World Series of Birding team, who were recently highlighted on ABC News. These dedicated pops encouraged their sons’ passion for birding, committed hours of their time to assist in their efforts, and then cheered as their boys placed 2nd in this top birding competition.
When people care about nature, they are more likely to protect it. So, let’s celebrate dads who are making a difference. Please make your gift today!
