Bless you Jackie and Shadow. You have no idea how many people sat on your eggs with you on those cold blizzard nights, how many people love you and now so many people mourn with you. I hope that you find peace and continue to love each other. Your love and dedication has shown us if birds can be loyal so can humans.

I am fascinated and touched by Jackie returning to the nest to cover the 2 remaining eggs with nest bowl materials. It's now 11 pm and I just checked the live stream and the eggs are sill covered and neither J or S is in the nest. I wish the best for this wonderful eagle couple as they continue their journey together. Thank you so much, SKH. It's been a part of our journey, too.

@@kimsplaylist8620 J just raised the surrounding branches and blocked the camera. If it's different in the recap, it's wrong and embarrassing. Eagles are not so intelligent that they use deliberate burying with a purpose, like crows and magpies bury food for later consumption. Eagles don't even have the instinct to bury something. Eggs are eaten by other animals, eagles don't even bother to throw the eggs away. When they took a break, they also didn't cover the eggs (although it can be assumed here that they let them cool down a bit) as blue tits do. Eagles can coverd eggs accidently when doing nest maintenance

I didn’t hear a song playing….. It seems that those in the know….believe these eggs not being viable have no effect on J and S! All instinct. I’m not sure where it says eagles do things instinctually void of the emotions we as humans experience. What I’ve witnessed over these weeks is text book emotion attached. From everything I have witnessed and being a grief counsellor I disagree. All the stages of grief, I have witnessed these 2 go through the different grief grieving process. How do they cover up these babies eggs without it being so evident the grieving they are doing?!!!! The whole thing from the nurturing and incubating , their parental protection in full stride caring for the eggs and each other. To the coming to terms that the eggs didn’t become viable to watch the separate ways for each, to come to terms. I mean seeing each of them staring out the unhatched eggs they show a deeper connection to their eggs not hatching….just to me can see these past couple of days a connection as each stand, stare, moving both eggs and sticks around to what looks like last protective act of covering them to try to keep intruders away. How do ‘they’ know that these parents aren’t feeling anything emotional?! Seriously?! Do scholars speak ‘eaglette’? Have they philosophised emotions don’t exist, only instinct? They are a wide open book on the differing stages of grief. What a pleasure it has been to watch J and S ….emotions raw and wide open. Thank you for providing me with this life effecting journey. Thanks to all in this community for posting your own emotional, personal experience watching their journey!

They inspire us, human beings, to pick ourselves back up and try, try again.

Just like Jackie and Shadow, we will never give up on a dream, in this we are family, wherever those dreams take us, we will preserver. Let the animal kingdom show us the way. Thank you for that!

For what reason I would love to know. And then flying off singing one of the most beautiful songs and duets I've heard from them. Truly amazing! I wish I understood what they are feeling.

Amazing.... If more parents were as caring and devoted as Jackie and Shadow the world would be a better place. Love these eagles and admire them for their devotion to one another!

A wonderful goodbye and closure, for birds or humans. And a beautiful impromptu duet. Eagles aren't known for their singing, but that was top notch in style, pitch, timing, and mood, for anybirdie. I'm glad she covered them up, gone, Shadow can forget. Now they can roost together again, and do all the things they do together in their paradise. They are more than a mated pair, they are best friends, and seldom apart for long. The bird version of soulmates. They don't have to have kids, they are complete. But I hope for next season.
