THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackie and Shadow, did it, another bald eagle will shortly take to the skies. What a happy day!

I can’t believe the egg is still intact with Spirit stomping all over the nest with his big clown feet! He’s so adorable.

And Spirit acts like s/he is brooding on the egg at the end, nestle up and laid down.

It is going to break Spirts heart when the egg breaks. I saw S or J, one of them the other day roll the egg and snuggle down on it,!😢

@@CoExist64 This is the first year I started watching nature cams, I can’t believe I missed out until now! I’ve been a bird watcher for a long time, especially since I moved up to the Lake Tahoe area. We have amazing wildlife here but bird nest cams give such an intimate view of family life it’s impossible to not get emotionally invested. Plus the cam community is such a nice group of people, it’s very hard to find an internet community that’s not toxic in some way. My parents used to take me camping at Big Bear way back in the 1970s, that’s where I got my love of mountains and wildlife. Hope you have a great day. 🦅😊

Dear Spirit! I felt like I was your parent watching you go airborne and feeling so free with your new independence! Congratulations on growing up! Soon you will be as pretty/handsome as your parents and be able to join them soaring on drafts and enjoying the freedom! Good for you! Wish I could join you!!!!!!!

Frances, thank you for the beautiful comment! That was so kind!

Shedding tears of joy, our precious Spirit. I love how( I think it is a she) cradles the egg at the end of the video, so gentle she/he has such a gentle demeanor.

They grow up so fast. Here he/she is, just 40 days old and already testing his/her independence!

Wow... that was amazing... After Spirit jumped, she looked back at Shadow; "Did you see that Papa?"... 🤗

I love that! This is do amazing to watch!!

Omg shadow was present when spirit hatched now 1st jump I guess Jackie is envy of shadow

Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Spirit is on his way to becoming a grown up 🦅. Parents should be proud. Great job.

So proud of Spitit myself. First surviving eaglet in 2 seasons.

Just an awesome capture Cali!! Thank you for letting us see these 'firsts' for our little warrior Spirit!

all the talking reminds me of simba. I wasn’t watching then but when I went back through to see him it makes me think of that.

Fast achiever! It wont be long before Spirit flies the friendly skies.

Thanks Cali one small jump for Spirit one giant beginning to freedom! Love the video ♥

Oh right spirit you go everyone so proud of you. You rock😱🤯🥵🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖😘

Spirit is only 40 days old... how can s/he look SO big already?? Love the sound of her/his sweet chitterings...Shadow must be so proud of his lil one!! Picking up sticks just like Dad and wanting to fly already!! Thanks so much Cali!! 😊💕💕

I love how she plays house with the egg each day too ❤

SPIRIT big girl love this family 🥰😍🤩😘

One small step for moms and dads; one giant leap for eaglets!

Great little jumper there! Both feet off the nest, you could see the pride in Spirit's face. Won't be long before the jump is higher and the aim is for one of the rails around the nest. Are we all ready to see this eaglet become a fledgling?

Aww" little baby steps 👣for spirit I thought first she jumped on the egg!!haha!!!! I'm always afraid when the eaglets start to do things like this cuz they may fall off the nest😮 great job little princess👑❤

I knew it!! The young one inherited Shadow’s love of Sticks!! 🦅🐣🤣 I see so much of Shadow in Junior! (Almost shot Shadow with projectile poop 💩!!)😂🦅🐣🦅

Wow Spirit is almost the size of the nest, growing so fast. I’m so proud of you Spirit. ❤️

Ohh Spirit.. you want to grow up so fast! It was Amazing to watch..but..Darn! Youre going to be an Amazing eagle! Youve Got all the Best from Jackie & Shadow 💖💖

Thanks Cali for sharing this video! It’s amazing to see Spirit having his first jump! To navigate with those huge wings in the nest, stretching and strengthening to eventually fly is quite amazing! You don’t get any practice flights. 💗 I’m just starting to watch the older videos to see Spirit growing up. Thanks for sharing this one on the live chat yesterday. XO

Spirit is growing up so fast!🥲💕 It's really awesome we get to experience everyday with spirit 🙌 Did anybody else notice spirit look straight into the camera after that jump and wing slap like " yeah that's right " lol 😆 💕🦅

Great job baby!💕💛♥

I love the wingersizing!!!!

Way to go Spirit! Beautiful baby! I love how Spirit broods the egg like Daddy does. Makes you wonder if Shadow grew up with an egg sibling.

Spirit is so beautiful. I always feel sad once they learn to fly but I know they love it so much.

I love the way Spirit is like Dad rearranging the sticks! Spirit is just elegant looking. The wings are magnificent. And doesn’t it look like Spirit is trying to keep the egg safe?

AnnisIrish - Yes it definately looks like SPIRIT is doing his/her best to keep the egg safe. And yes - he is Shadow Dad's offspring with his love of sticks! - Stephanie

Wow, growing in leaps and bounds! I love this eaglet's name, so fitting. 🙏

The music helped me know when it was coming. This little chick grew up so fast🦅🐣❤❤❤

Such a beautiful spirit :) Growing up so fast. One day you will fly so free and delight the sky.

It's amazing to watch Spirit practice, getting better each time. She/he is determined and that's a very good thing. Love the singing as well.

Flap those wings, Spirit! Atta birdie!

WOW!!! (4:35) WOW!!! xoxoxo

Yay My Little Nugget, ( not so little anymore) so happy to see you growing into a beautiful eagle.

if Spirit falls or leaves the nest too quickly, or accidentally,I hope somebody rescues the sweet baby..

Yayy I knew it was coming soon. he's been getting a little too close to the edge of the nest! first flaps, steps /jumps just getting ready for the good life omgosh !!! Bless them & keep them all safe❤️🦅❤️

Šikulka veliká ❤🍀

So sweet Spirit trying to fly.❤

And there's that egg!😂 Oh gosh😂thanks Cali!💞

There, that was my exercise for the day. Time to rest next to my best buddy Eggie. 😁 Thank you for this video

'Spirit' got spirit 😘❤️👍🏻

Goooooooooooooo Spirit!!!!!

Spirit is doing a good job testing out those wings. Spirit is practicing for flight ✈️ school soon. Thanks Cali 💕🦅

Yay Spirit! Great job! ❤️

Cutie goes from strength to strength :)

This is an amazing video. I just can't believe how fast he is growing

My mouth is down to the floor every time Spirit spreads or tests her/his wings! I’m flabbergasted! Unbelievable! 😘❤️😃💋

It has been a joy watching this family grow. I know I will shed a tear when they all leave the nest.

Another milestone Spirit 🥰 Stop growing so fast and enjoy being small. What a beautiful eagle you are turning into

Good job kiddo. Thanks Cali C.

My heart is full seeing this eaglet growing and changing before my eyes. And love hearing that little cheeping sound Spirit makes. So cute!!!

OMG! “Look dad, no feet on the ground!”

wow great job spirit😊❤

Nice!!

So pre ious! Shadows watching like a prod dad🥰❤️🐦🦅

Like an early-walking baby, looks like Spirit might be an early flyer?

It's almost like Spirit looked at the camera and said "didn't I do well?" So cute.

Good job!

Spirit next to the unborn egg really puts their growth into perspective

❤️🦅❤️🦅❤️🦅

Wow

I’ve watched Spirit hatch. I’m waiting to see when will they fly. The parents will help Spirit 🦅

good video

🦅❤️👋🤝

Like riding a bicycle for the first time all by yourself!!!

😲

It's like watching a baby take first steps. I feel like he/she could make a safe landing if he/she fell out of the nest.

This eaglet has been doing so much independently. I just believe he or she is going to accidentally get knocked out of the nest. Always so close to the edges. I don't know if that's just a curious eagle behavior or if it's a natural way that they learn about being high up in the sky.

Oh man how does Spirit stay in the nest? Freakin me out

🥰🤣🤩🤗

Beside the jump, she is aware of the egg and is practicing sitting on it.

How old was Simba when he left the nest? Thanks
