I've learned so much about Bald eagles' personalities, their means of communicating...with a chirp or just a look, and their behaviors as they transition from winter through the breeding and rearing season. Thanks Cali for the opportunities to become enlightened. My eagle took his first mate last year (at 6yo) and I'm sure things were a bit awkward for a virgin who paired up with a "seasoned" older gal who already knew her way around the process. They made it through fledging and then disappeared for a 13 week respite before visiting me again in December. Since then they have been a daily couple taking advantage of my freezer full of hooligan (smelt), and outdated salmon and trout. That is until March 31 when Sally no longer accompanied Denali for a meal. With spring arriving several weeks early in AK this year I suspected she dropped her first egg on that day or 4/1. Since then Denali is the only visitor and hauls whole fish back to the nest, and hopefully just as Shadow, uses the fish as a bribe to persuade Sally to give him some egg time too. There should be two eggs by now. ~KK~

I've read that a female eagle will commonly choose a male who is a little younger. Shadow is two years younger than Jackie. There's a trio of eagles in an illinois wildlife preserve (two males and one female) who have been together for a least seven years. Both males mate with the female (at different times of course) and all three raise the eaglets together! It's the first eagle trio that has been observed, but apparently female eagles will take two "husbands" sometimes.😅 The trio in Illinois seem to live in a committed polyandrous relationship. Eagles are very interesting. 😊

I suspect that the Age mismatch in bald eagle pairs is intended by Mother Nature. As we all know, eagles' nests are huge and perfect building locations are scarce for each territory of a pair. By having adults at different ages, as one dies, the other essentially "inherits" the nest location. So the new couple will always be one bird that is familiar with the food sources of the territory and they don't have to start a nest from scratch. I know of one nest location next to a favorite people fishing hole that is over 40 years old in a large cottonwood.

@pikesticker 40 years!? Wow that really Amazing!

A few things....they are both breathtaking, even more so when they have their feathers ruffled on their heads. And I would bet $10 that sub adult that keeps hanging around is Spirit.

Could be - who else would be daft enough to fly around the Nest in the middle of a snowstorm? 😆

Rough, Snow-laden day for these 2 Winter champions - but had to smile at Shadow's spiky hair! 🦅

Pretty cold and snowy day. Snow on lashes, spiked feathers and buried in snow but he’s still being an amazing dad. 🥰 Jackie is the buried-best mom.

Ah bless the Dynamic Duo! Shadow has the best wee white Fluffy head 😂 Just want to stroke it as being a thick irishman I literally thought heads bauld & shirt hair but her highness Jackie just as lovely 2 special birds I say for sure 🦅🦅🍀✌️👍

I'd say that Jackie has about given up if she would let Shadow stay on the nest so long when it is snowing. But she did come back for the nightshift. It sure was a blustery DITL of J&S. Thanks for another well-done video, Cali.

Snow Birds!! 🥶🦅🦅💞 I Love You Beautiful Eagle Stars!! 💖💖

🦜 If only i can hug her. Wouldn't make a difference to her but for me, it would. Her endurance is momentus.

Bless their hearts.....still trying to keep these eggs safe. Amazing instincts. Wonderful parents.... Humans cold learn a few things. :)

TS 18:37:20 notice how Jackie is eagerly looking as Shadow gets up…. She was curious to see if her eggs were ok after the sub adult passed over. I am so hoping their dreams come true sooner rather than later. Looking forward to next year. Those two deserve EAGLES OF THE YEAR award, such caring and devotion they have for each other and their eggs. (even though eggs are not viable) Thank you Cali for this and all the videos you share with us all‼️ Love you guys❤🦅🦅❤️

Poor Jackie and Shadow. Putting so much love and protection into those naughty eggs that won’t hatch. Kind of miffed at those eggs. 🥹

It breaks my heart knowing those little eggs won't hatch after all the effort and dedication of Jackie and Shadow. 😢 Bless their hearts! ❤

And another one tonight, Jackie's almost completely covered in snow. Bless your Eagle hearts.

Such endurance…such determination. I’m in ‘Awe’.

Dear Jackie 💘 and Dear Shadow ❣ what devotion to their eggs 🥲I'm glad that they have such warm feathers 🦅 through all of these snowstorms. I love how they carefully snuggle up to their eggs 🥚🥚🥚

Cali Condor, your videos have become my morning boosts & sometimes even an afternoon funny!!! So THANK YOU for always sharing ❤

I love when Shadow has David Bowie featherhead … love this entire snowy eagle video ❤️🦅🦅❤️

As much as I want them to let go, I will never tire of seeing either one of them "do the shimmy!" 🕺💃 I had a feeling Jackie would be back for the overnight shift. Maybe they're hanging on extra long to appease us, knowing how much we will miss seeing them daily. 😉 They are now a part of so many people's lives, across the world! I know I'm an "eagle mom" forever. I care so much about J & S, it's bordering on ridiculous. ❤

The day at Jackie and the Shadow and again everything is snowy, Thanks Cali Condor

I love Shadow and Jackie so much 🤟🏻🥰🤟🏻💗💗💗

Thank You, Cali Condor...the video close ups of them are wonderful ....will be so happy to see the snow ending, and Happy that Jackie is taking more time away from the nest. Love watching them each morning...and I sure like to believe the sub-adult is Spirit . 🤗

This really breaks my heart, Jackie is such a devoted mother,

Another great video of their day. Thanks Cali always getting in the best highlights. ❤

This has got to have you love Shadow that much more. Sitting on the nest, the whole day, in the snow, while it's still snowing. What an eagle!! ~ He can't see clearly with the snow on his lashes. ~ Jackie, where have you been all day? ~ Oh no!!! A new version of "Where is Waldo", Where is Jackie . . . oh, under the snow!! I think that the snow is frozen to her face. Hope today (Saturday) will be a better day for all of us. ~ Cali, thanks for the highlights of the day.

It's amazing that they can sleep buried in snow like that. Their diligence and fortitude are truly admirable.

We love you Jackie ❤🦅...and Shadow too. ❤🦅

I checked my Sent folder and it looks like I may have deleted all the mail I sent to my friend. The thing that stood out in the video I'm referring to is that Jackie was waiting and waiting for Shadow to leave the nest and when he got to her he pounded the heck out of her so much that she nearly fell out of the tree.

Fantastic video,thank you for all the closeups of this dynamic duo. I don't think the snow bothers them ,I just wonder when it will end.

Wow they love and hope for those eggs 🙏❤️ how I wish for a miracle for them and all to see 🐥

If they'd push those died eggs out, Jackie would lay another set almost immediately. I think Shadow will have to do the sad sad sad duty of getting the dead ones out of the nest when Jackie not looking. They are SO beautiful.

It's good to see the area getting so much snow/moisture this year!

Sweet Jackie. Her beak was even covered in snow ❤❤❤

It breaks my heart and soul to see her sitting on her little eggs when we know no babies are hatching. I almost wish we could give her babies that have lost their parents. 🙏🏻

Aw closeups of our beautiful Shadow! ♥️🦅🦅

No sé que esperan las fundaciones para rescatar los 🥚🥚🥚 Yo he visto videos donde les cambian los 🥚🥚🥚 por polluelos sin padres. Sería un gran gesto para Jacky & Shadow. Es la segunda temporada que no hay Pip 😥 Deben de estudiar esos huevos y así descubrir que está pasando con ellos. Me da tanta pena y tristeza ver que siguen cuidando a los 🥚 😥 Ellos merecen una alegría Y otros polluelos bebés son padres , tener a unos buenos padres como Jacky ,& Shadow. Eso sería de verdad un Sueño y Alegría para todos 🌎💕

My sweetheart s God protect always 🙏🏼 they are amazing parents. And continue to protect his eggs meaby waiting for eaglets or instincts.

Wow all this snow - crazy weather right???? On and off??? or maybe I am not familiar with this area.

Poor things need to migrate to warmer weather.

I really hope next year's clutch is viable.

Another massive snowstorm, wow.

Pure art. ♥️

Presh😍😍😍😍😍

And at the end... Now you know why their heads are right. Change my mind! 🤔😄

🎶 snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes 🎶 That lighting at 7:30 ✨and zoom of S with ❄ on his back 💗It’s too much sweetness to handle. Shakie still not missing a beat with nest duties… S starting promptly at 7am. Still can’t believe they’re nesting through another snowstorm.

Amazing to see the eagle covered completely with snow! Does this actually help conserve their body heat in the nest?

I look forward to your recaps. Thank you.

Thank you!!

I'm probably wrong, but can't help but wonder if the intense series of snow storms this year affected the viability of their egg triplets. And the weather sure seems to have made their chortles more raspy.

❤❤

🙏💙

Someone should really go up there and retrieve the non viable eggs and lit a candle underneath the egg and see if there's a chick in the egg or not and if so have them try to incubate the eggs in a incubator 😊

Hi Cali! As always, thank you for the wonderful highlights of these magnificent birds! I know this doesn’t have anything to do with this video, but I was watching some prior videos of Eagles and their babies, and I had a question I could not find the answer to and I’m hoping you can tell me please. How do the baby eglets breathe when their mother or father sits on them? I’ve scoured the Internet and I cannot seem to find the answer. Will you, Cali, or some knowledgeable person out there please answer my question! Do they sit on them differently than they sit on the eggs? Does the brood patch have anything to do with it once the eaglets are born? I really would like to know if someone would please answer me. Thank you and I sure appreciate y’all. And I love you Jackie and Shadow! and All continue to watch as long as you’re on the nest and then wait for you to come back next time and hopefully you’ll have babies to sit on next time.

There is plenty of air under parents when they brood chicks. Chicks have several distinct vocalizations that they use to communicate whether they are hungry, hot, cold, uncomfortable, in distress etc. Pretty sure if there is no enough air "down there" it will be communicated pretty quickly. The brood patch develops shortly before egg laying and gradually fills up with feathers after hatching. Eaglets hatch with thin natal down that does not allow full thermoregulation, meaning that they will require external heat from parents for a couple more weeks. The dark thermal down is developed by about 2 weeks of age, it allows them to thermoregulate and be comfortable even in subfreezing conditions.

Will they use this nest if new eggs are laid?

When will Jackie and Shadow accept defeat with this clutch of eggs? Will they both fly away until time to lay eggs and return to the nest? What will they do ? 3:52

Will the non-viable eggs ever be removed from the nest? When will Jackie and Shadow be aware that these eggs will not hatch?

Cali, I read in a previous video someone said Jackie was pregnant. Is she or did they think that because they were mating? Thank you.
