  • Thirty-one-year-old bald eagle Murphy is a first-time father to an eaglet that was found on the ground after a storm blew its nest down.

    When a recently orphaned eagle needed a dad, Murphy stepped up to help at his home at World Bird Sanctuary in Valley Park in St. Louis County.
    "Although it might make you feel sad that Murphy has built a nest and is nurturing a rock as an egg, it’s just his hormonal response to spring," the sanctuary posted on Facebook. "Murphy is not sad, so you don’t need to be."

    A couple weeks ago, another bald eagle chick fell out of the nest. Murphy is raising it.

    We get upset when they don't show us more stuff like this on the news and more vitriolic stuff, but this only has 120 likes in almost 24 hours.
    No love for our boy Murph :(

    Humans are pretty cool when we do stuff like this. Giving orphaned animals that would die in the wild a home.

    It might seem silly not to name it, but some superstitions are strong for a reason. When I finally started dating again, we set our first date for New Years Day 2021 because I said 2020 was cursed. (For obvious reasons)
