Bald eagle couple in Colorado lays new egg after losing eaglets two years in a row

A bald eagle couple living in a Colorado park has laid its first egg of the season, after tragically losing two offspring consecutively in 2021 and 2022.

The expecting parents, who are monitored by a live camera that people around the world can tune into, laid the egg on Sunday afternoon, the Standley Lake Regional Park shared on Monday.

"The incubation period will last for about 35 days, and then we will keep a lookout for a baby eaglet!" the park said Sunday on Facebook. They added in a Monday post that, "we have decided to call the male and female bald eagles at Standley Lake 'Dad' and 'Mom'."
