They've lost clutches before and will doubtless do so again. But even while incubating the eggs they managed to make time for each other. That bodes well for the future.

Bald eagles nest quite successfully in Alaska. I don't think snow is the problem.

@virginiamoss7045

@@ZetaWarmington In Alaska they don't lay until early April. Maybe the problem is that this is southern California and southern eagles lay much earlier with usual success for that climate. They are just too high and too soon.

The heart of bald eagle habitat is SW Alaska. They love snow and colder weather. When it starts to warm up, they get too hot and are panting trying to cool off.

Jackie is a big girl! and her feathers have a little more of the '80s 'ruffled'? look a lot of the time :o) I can't always tell either, but i'm doing better. I've listened to them long enough that i can kind of tell Shadow's little 'whimper'?? LOL when he's arguing, or trying to argue, with Jackie about nest duty :o) I don't know if any of that will help or not... it is really hard to tell them apart for sure, even when they are standing just right for me sometimes.
