Jackie effectively put a period at the end of the sentence and Shadow closed the chapter. On to the next installment of “as the sticks build”. Meantime we can enjoy Fiona’s antics, occasional visits from the duo through the coming weeks/months, and a peaceful waiting through the glorious summer. Thanks again, Cali!

No wing slaps tonight, enjoy cleanup Fiona!

Life goes on. Just hope with Jackie and Shadow's mating that they'll return, lay more eggs and successfully hatch some eaglets. As heartbreaking as the result was, they've had eagle 🦅 babies hatch previously so I'm going to remain as hopeful al. They sing a beautiful love song.

No more this year, just look forward to Nov-March which is their mating season.

It was more than love. J&S loved each other but it was the bond that held them together on cold blizzard nights. I still go to the nest as habit thinking what happened in the last few days might have been a bad nights sleep for me. But what I see is a cemetery where Jackie and Shadow buried the eggs that they tried so hard to give life to. I've always respected bald eagles because they are the national symbol of my country but I never gave much more thought to them. It seems that now I'm always going to be thinking......I wonder how Jackie and Shadow are doing.😔🥰

The nest looks so Quiet and Empty now 😢 Before We saw Jackie and Shadow on a regular basis, Busy and us with Excitement waiting for the Big Day/Days. Almost kind of Eerie. Going to take some getting used to not seeing them at the same pretty much all the time. I'll miss seeing them on a regular basis 😢

Fiona got her nest back😂

The fierce, fabulous, fearless flying Fiona ! Lol She found some good eats in the nest !

I always have wondered where Fiona's nest is. In a hole in the same Jeffery Pine, but lower? She's a great helper to clean up for Jackie and Shadow.

Interesting how Fiona went all around the nest without disturbing the nest bowl. I'm missing Jackie and Shadow and looking forward to their return 💕🦅🦅Thank you Cali for the videos and information

Fiona is delighted to have the nest to herself so she can take her sweet time scavenging for goodies to eat. I love hearing J&S chortle again and to see that life goes on for them as a loving couple. Thanks, Cali, it is always good to see your videos.

I will miss my mornings & evening watches of two wonderful birds❤

To clarify your confusion towards the end of the video: In the first cluster of eagle calls, Shadow initiates. In the second cluster, Jackie initiates. Clearly I’ve spent too many hours listening to these two birds conversing, as I can actually tell their voices apart!!! 🤭

Awww Fiona And all the Love of Jackie and Shadow remains

In absence of J&S, I guess we will enjoy watching Fiona on and off the screen then.

I’m amazed too that Fiona wasn’t in the nest 🪹 bowl - it’s like she knew that something significant had happened and she was very careful. I hope Jackie and Shadow 🦅 can have another clutch this spring 🪺

😢😢. I feel so bad for Jackie and Shadow. They have been vigilant about caring for their three eggs. We were all hoping that at least one would hatch. Such wonderful parents. Fiona is smooth 😍. Let's hope for future hatchlings. 🦅❤

Shadow took a little bit more time in that matting. Considering he doesn’t have to rush back to the nest that makes sense. 😁😁

Nice to see Fiona and hear Shadow and Jackie greet the dawn

Fiona! 🐿️❤

Keeping the love alive!! ❤❤❤

🦅🦅🐿️❤️

Shadow and Jackie looking forward to a fun and carefree spring & summer!🌞♥️

🙏

The eagles have been so peaceful to watch ❤️

On April 12th 2024 Jackie and Shadow mated again on film via the Cam #2 camera. Wow, that is great that they are giving it a GO AGAIN ! Watch the Cam #2 taken on 4/12, they are roosting in their special tree that has no green foliage. I was not shocked - because another eagle pair did the same thing when thier eggs were not viable for 2 months !!

Thank you!

Lol. Well, I sure hope with the “ quick times” on the tree branches, together, something “ special” develops from it!! Like……. 😁. EGGS!! 🤞🏼🙏😉

What you heard is correct, there will be no more until Nov-March which is their mating season. They are simply courting, which helps them remain the strong couple that they are.

Does an eagle eat squirrels? Fiona is lucky and only gets wing slaps.

I think Fiona's nest is within/bottom side of J&S nest .

Ok eagle novice here. If they are mating again isn’t it possible they could have eggs again soon and perhaps a possibility one more time? Thanks 🙏

They mate all year round but Jackie's egg-laying season is Jan-Mar of each year. It is too late for another clutch this year.

1:25 Hey Fiona! They put THAT stick there for a reason… rearranging it several times to get it JUST perfect!! 😧 Don’t think J&S would like you turning 1 stick into 2… just saying. 🤷🏼‍♀️😏

I think our precious little Fiona ....might be pregnant. She looked a little plump ❤❤❤

Fiona! 🐿

Really is cute

Kinda hate Jackie buried them, But I would assume if the first one was just membrane then possibly so would the other 2. I don't know. Was hoping to be able to be seen so we could kinda know for sure. But at the same time I feel like Jackie did it for Shadows sake 😢

@@lindaadelwerth8042 Whereas I think that when Shadow sat on the broken egg, it crushed beneath him and the foul, sticky goo caused the remnants of the shell to adhere to his brood patch. Then he flew away with egg on his breast. I think this traumatized Shadow - which is why he didn’t return to the remaining 2 eggs thereafter. Even if it didn’t upset him, I imagine the smell alone convinced him the eggs were non-viable. If I were Shadow, I wouldn’t want to risk a repeat of the incident - no matter how much I wanted to pay homage to Jackie’s contributions to the reproductive process…

I`ve read that mating between eagles isn`t pleasurable, I beg to differ with this pair {{LOVE}}

Is it normal for an eagle to bury their eggs like Jackie did? Or was it unintentional? I usually see them just leave them .. that was odd... But good!

Yes, eagles either bury their eggs, and they just become a part of the nest, or just leave the eggs and let nature take it from there. Open feast for predators!

Fiona is the flying squirrel you saw in the nest.

Who's Fiona? Is that a ,squirrel? It's a renewing now. They. Both are looking to each other for support over their lost eggs. They'll decide what's best for them and now they need to do some resting and peaceful togetherness. They need each other now. It's going to be alright, cause they'll go forward. They'll never give up as long as they have each other. BTW I think its insensitive and rude to film them mating. It's just wrong for humans to do that to animals.

Actually, speaking as a human being, I can tell you that I appreciate that the m8ting is filmed. The reason that I appreciate that is we know then the eagles are healthy, they're strongly bonded, and that there is this tiny, tiny, tiny glimmer of hope that there might be one more clutch. I guess one of the other nests did have a surprise late clutch this year. The fact that Jackie's pushing him off so quickly this year add one little glimmer to that small hope. They have to stop with the one clutch that is not viable if they hope to start another. By the way, if only Beau could watch these videos. Shadow is just so smooth! M15 is more like a cowboy. 😂
