Webcam video captured the moment a bald eagle’s nest in Santa Cruz Island was shaken as a result of the 5.3 magnitude earthquake that hit off the coast of California’s Channel Islands on April 5.

The bald eagle momma can be seen in the video frantically flying away from her nest and leaving her chicks behind for a few moments until the rattling subsided. Credit: explore.org via Storyful
