The common eider often nests near the snowy owl's nest, sometimes forming colonies of several dozen nests. In such colonies, some females without their own nests lay their eggs in someone else's nest. Sometimes the eggs end up just on the ground. One of these common eider eggs ended up next to the snowy owl's nest. You are seeing unique footage of the common eider owl rolling the egg. Prior to this video fact, researchers believed that common eiders could somehow lay their eggs directly in the owl's nest.
