FOBBV🦅A Day In The Life Of Jackie & Shadow💕Sticks, Fluff & Mating🌲Scares & Chortles🎶2024-04-06

🥚Egg1 was laid 1/25 16:55 bit.ly/48OfNt5, Egg2 was laid 1/28 13:59 bit.ly/3OkpEi7, Egg3 was laid on 1/31 17:58 bit.ly/3SGTwb5 .
It is unlikely that the eggs will hatch at this point. We have no way of knowing why. It could be environmental, such as temperatures, humidity percentages, oxygen levels at high altitude, etc. It could be biological with something just being off at the time the eggs were created. It is very unlikely that either Jackie or Shadow are infertile since they have already had 2 sets of chicks together - in 2019 and 2022.
When eggs don’t hatch, Jackie and Shadow may start withdrawing from incubation eventually (they usually over incubate for several weeks, details can be found in our Activity Log). Withdrawal is always a process and it happens gradually with longer and longer breaks. Shadow may be a little bit more stubborn than Jackie (this is something we have observed in the past). Left unattended, the eggs may eventually be scavenged by ravens or other animals. The nest cameras are live 24/7/366 weather and maintenance permitting.
ℹResident Bald Eagle male: Shadow (unbanded) since May 2018. Estimated hatch year: 2014
ℹResident Bald Eagle female: Jackie (unbanded) since September 2016. Estimated hatch year: 2012

Such a poignant look at our Eagle couple, thank you Cali for all you do. These “day in the life” videos bring me joy to watch how Jackie and Shadow interact.
❤ Jackie & Shadow ❤ wonderful couple enduring the hardships of life, love them. Cute chortles, beautiful location and amazing sunrise.
Thank you. Cali for another day in the life of Jackie and Shadow. It was a beautiful sight to see Jackie and Shadow sitting at the nest and looking at the lake. I love then both.❤
That fog over the lake at sunrise is simply gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this footage of Jackie & Shadow!😍
Beautiful vídeo Cali. The sunset and the blue lake are picture perfect. Jackie and Shadow are amazing. ❤❤❤😊
I think that Shadow enjoys sitting on the eggs. He looks cozy and naps.

He loves it!
P.S. If you click on the ‘more’ section under the video title, there is a vast amount of information provided by Cali and FOBBV which answers any and all questions you may have. Everyone have a lovely Sunday. God bless
Love the beauty of nature along with the strength and endurance of our beautiful eagles. I watch them throughout the day, and they are calming to me. We can learn a lot from Cali and FOBBV (especially if we read), but over the years I’ve also learned much just by watching these two. Yes I’m sure we all would have liked to see the eggs hatch, but it’s all part of nature. As we can see from this channel and FOBBV, these two magnificent eagles carry on with life and just get on with it. There are no tears or sadness, they do what comes naturally to them and it’s a joy to watch. God bless our eagles, and may God bless each and every one who is a part of this wonderful community. As always, thanks @Cali Condor ❤️🦅🦅

@@dorothysekellick612 God bless you and thank you for your kind words. It is hard for those who are just joining us this year, but the more time that folks watch and learn from these two, then it becomes easier knowing that they are okay even though we may not be. I am grateful just to be able to watch them, and what I’ve learned is more valuable than words can say. Have a blessed Sunday, and take care :)
8:02 hehehe Beautiful Shadow. That’s a big branch you brought to give to Jackie! 🥰🥰
Strange sticks bring brought to the nest. Lots of chit chat across the trees.
Another day in the life of Jackie and Shadow, Thanks Cali Condor

First thing Shadow does When flying into the nest is check for the eggs 😔
Shadow & Jackie mating was very heartwarming as they looked at the snowy mountains. Great video! ❤
Poor Shadow, bless his heart, he just can't give up. But Jackie won't let him have night duty. They are so caring and tender toward each other, it is heartwarming to watch them, no matter the circumstances. Thanks for anther great DITL video, Cali.
Remember Spirit’s ‘pantaloons’? Sure miss that little bobble head :)
26:44 “Honey, I put this piece of ‘furniture’ here for a reason! Please don’t move it again!”. Omg, they are simply adorable 🦅❤️🦅
Thank You, Cali Condor for another 'Day in the life' of Jackie & Shadow🤗 Always check in to start my day with them, such a wonderful loving pair
Another great video Cali Condor! Thanks for that! 👏🏻🙏
8:51 This is ‘screenshot’ material! What a magnificent pair :) Much love for these gorgeous eagles
I'm still so sad for them. I know I'm assigning human emotions to their chickless nest...but it's sad. 😢

Beautiful video, Cali. I'm so happy to see them together a lot. This morning, I watched how last night went for Jackie. She stayed on the frontporch most of the night. Contemplating, I suppose. Then just flew off. Broke my heart. 💔 I know it has to happen, I just really don't want it to. I adore this pair. I want the best of everything for them. 🤗❤️
What a crazy spring weather pattern you are having on the west coast (and east coast)! Here in Nebraska we are having March winds but it's friggin' April! Come on with the rain already! We need it here.
Bless these two babies, the world is with you ❤❤❤❤
The sunset is beautiful! Jackie and Shadow are giving it all they've got! They are amazing and definitely are not quitters. My heart aches for them. Just look at them. Its though they are trying to decide what the next srep shoukd be. I believe they will starting the next chapter in their Iives sooner then later. May God bless them and may nature give the the happy life they deaerve! Much love to you. Jackie and Shadow!❤️❤️🦅🦅❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the highlights of the day. This weekend, I've needed to spend more time on my studies. Haven't been able to watch J&S as much as I'd like to. ~ That crazy stick that Jackie brought was something else, though. ~ It's nice to know that Shadow still loves Jackie ~ That was kind of funny that Shadow was startled by Jackie's arrival ~ It's so cute watching them sleep.
To cudowna para, 🦅🦅czy oni jeszcze wierzą, że młode się wyklują, wciąż mają nadzieję...😘
That was amazing!
Daily inspiration from J&S.
They not giving up on those eggs.
These two have so much personality. Great fun to watch them. Alpha predators being themselves!
Fantastic Eagles 🦅🦅🦅🦅 💕💕💕💕

2024 04.07 . / 01.31.45 am on live nest cam 1 Jackie leaves the nest to 😴 on the Branch. See you Cali and J&S fans tomorrow 🤗
Hope they soon hatch for a second round. Great news.
I love ❤❤
Oh these 2 are so funny and cute, I so wish I could speak Eagle. Mating again!! Okay, call me ignorant but how does this Mating thing work? She’s not fertile now right, so it’s just for fun 😊? It’s all of 10 seconds and looks like he’s falling off of her, how does anything get done? 😂

Sorry if it makes you sad, but they are doing what comes naturally. They will try again next year as she is only fertile during certain months. So enjoy the beauty and love we are blessed to witness…
Will they lay more eggs on top of those already there?

Not trying to be rude, I don't if people aren't reading the info that the posters give but there's some that keeps asking when the eggs are going to hatch and I know it's been said plenty of times that they aren't going to hatch and why, But they still continue to ask.

Do Eagles stay together as a mated pair for life?

RB--pretty much Yes. Esp. if they are regularly laying Eggs and hatching them to fledge. Some Pairs(like J & S) are super in love with each other and can endure a number of hardships togethe and makes their Love stronger as time goes on. others not so much that affectionate but are driven by natural urge to Procreate.

Jackie was with Mr B until Shadow showed up and they got together. They don’t mate for life, but it’s my wish that these two will stay together. From what I’ve seen, I can’t imagine them breaking up but it’s not up to us.

@KimCooney1

From what I have read, yes they do mate for life unless another eagle comes to challenge and take a mate. The FOBBV website talks about how Shadow did this very same thing. Jackie's original mate was Mr. B, Shadow challenged and chased him away and took Jackie as his mate.

Goodness…
It looks like they are starting to give up. Jackie showed up at TS 16:20, looked at the eggs and took off again. Then later she arrives with fluff, Shadow takes off, she puts the fluff in the nest, and then figures, what’s the point, and flies off again.
I’m surprised Jackie is still sitting on the eggs. She known they weren’t viable for some time. Must be heartbreaking for them
Heartbreaking. Why haven't these eggs hatched? 😢
Lovely!

Not necessarily, Jackie was with another male before Shadow. I do believe these two will stay together, but that’s just because I want to believe it. So the short answer is “no”.
